Our regular visit to Catalunya in September/October is going to have to change radically. We normally go for a week or more to enjoy several festivals and with luck do a bit of bird-watching. This year because the Concurs de Castells in Tarragona is right at the start of October we booked a longer break from 19th September to 6th October. The Concurs de Castells has already been cancelled and it's my expectation that the festivals will go the same way. We've got very little accommodation booked yet because we were waiting for dates to be confirmed, so we have a lot of flexibility.
With the obvious caveat that the endemic can change everything (including total cancellation) we're now re-planning to focus on wildlife. We'll probably revisit places we're already familiar with (the Ebro Delta, El Planeron, Lago de Gallocanto (we'll have a car)) but we'd like to see some new places too. Our experience of the northern coast of Spain is restricted to Bilbao, having done crossings on the old "Pride of Bilbao" for birds and cetaceans a few times but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of whale and dolphin spotting from the north coast - either land based or from day boat trips? Any recommendations?
