Birding

Sierra de Andujar is one of the best places on Earth to look for the Iberian lynx in the wild, especially from winter through spring. The combination of Mediterranean scrub, open hillsides, and productive viewpoints also makes it a strong destination for Spanish imperial eagles, red deer, and classic dehesa landscape photography.
