The fascinating thing about Birding is that you can visit an area a thousand times and it will always be different. The landscape is shaped by the variety of birds that inhabit it, and they are constantly on the move. One of our favourite times to visit the Salinas de Santa Pola is undoubtedly in spring, when the noise of terns, herring gulls and little terns... invades everything. The beach and the shallow saline waters come together through one of the best preserved dune ecosystems on the Levantine coast. From the sea, observing the numerous waders or from the fauna observatories, we can enjoy a full day of birding on this beautiful ornithological route. Whether it's winter, autumn, spring or summer, if your thing is seabirds or waders, this is a natural space you can't miss!
