Private Two-Day Alicante Wetlands and Coast Birding Break
1/1

About this tour

This compact break uses two contrasting days to sample the birdlife of Alicante province. The opening circuit concentrates on southern wetlands, where open water, reedbeds, saltmarsh and surrounding fields can hold scarce waterfowl, breeding marsh birds, migrants and raptors.

The second day moves north toward Denia and its shoreline and headlands. Beaches, sea cliffs and Mediterranean scrub broaden the search to plovers, gulls, terns, swifts and rocky-country birds such as Blue Rock Thrush.

It is a private, adaptable programme: recent sightings, access and weather determine the precise sites and how much time is spent at each habitat. Lodging, transfers, meals, the daily meeting arrangements and the current two-day price are confirmed for the requested dates.

Is accommodation part of the displayed tour?

No lodging is specified in the current record. A suitable overnight base and whether it is booked independently or included in a quotation must be agreed before reservation.

Why does the route include Denia?

Denia adds beach, headland, cliff and scrub habitats that complement the lagoons and marshes visited around Alicante.
