Back for more!

We so enjoyed our birding trip in Northern Spain with Vega and Alfonso in 2021 that we came back for another ten days in Februrary/March 2023! We birded slightly further South this time, for the special species of the Spanish Steppes. We were not disapointed! The accomodation and food was excellent, once again and it was wonderful simply to enjoy time with our (now) friends Vega and Alfonso in the Spanish slow lane! And the birds… and the birds… and the birding… Bustards, Sandgrouse, Imperial Eagles, Vultures… and who knew that there were so many Blackcaps in the world?! They know how to spend their winters… in Spain, with Vega and Alfonso… If only we could do the same every year!

Vega and Alfonso birds - simply sublime!

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks of mixed birding and restful holiday with (and organised by) Vega and Alfonso from May-June 2021 – right after lockdown! The Spanish scenery and cultural immersion was wonderful and the birding spectacular. Thanks to their expertise we found so many Iberian specialities and species that we had longed to see. With Vega and Alfonso, however, even more common species became delightful, once more… Goldfinches will forever be ‘Alfonso birds’ and Bee-eaters ‘Vega Birds! But it wasn’t just the birds… flowers… butterflies… we explored so many wonderful sights and sounds together.

Wildlife with Vega and Alfonso

30/01/2025

We are now looking forward to our 4th wildlife holiday with Vega and Alfonso in Castile and Leon, in the area around Salamanca, where being driven on quiet country roads is such a pleasure. The region is dotted with small villages and we have stayed with them at several family run hotels with excellent accommodation and food. During our visits we have enjoyed many very special stopping points to see both flora and fauna, where we have seen colourful woodland and water birds as well as Griffon and Egyptian Vultures in mountainous, dramatic scenery, plus many Bustards on the plains. In addition to birds, one particular highlight was an excellent sighting of a Spoonwing Lacewing, which was a first for us. Each day’s trip is filled with many similar surprises, which only local knowledge can unfold, and Vega’s tasty picnic luncheon treats are to be savoured.

You can see why we keep coming back!

Over the years we’ve done two day trips and also a several days birding holiday with Vega and Alfonso, covering a very wide area. Excellent company, great birds, fantastic scenery and some superb fossils and architecture too!
