An area of woodland and maquis scrub containing all the expected species of the Alcornocales and adjacent to a large reservoir.
This site offers the option of two circular walks. One of 2-3 km and other (Sendero El Palancar) of c8km. The longer circuit takes you along the edge of a large reservoir (Embalse de Charco Redondo) but you should see most of the birds the area has to offer on the shorter walk. Both routes snake through woodland and open areas. The woodlands hold Pouillot ibérique, Pouillot de Bonelli and Mésange huppée, open woodland areas have Bruant zizi and Alouette lulu and the low scrub a veriety of ‘Sylvia’ warblers such as Fauvette grisette, Fauvette mélanocéphale and Fauvette pitchou. At the start of the walk you have a good view to the south across the main road as it passes over the Puerta de Valdespera. This makes it a good location to watch the movement of raptors in spring and autumn when Aigle botté, Milan noir, Bondrée apivore and the odd Vautour percnoptère (plus Cigogne noire) pass through. Vautour fauve, Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, Épervier d'Europe and Buse variable frequently appear but you need a good deal of luck to spot Aigle de Bonelli or Autour des palombes here although both are possible. The reservoir may also attract passing Balbuzard pêcheur. During passage periods expect Guêpier d'Europe and pretty much any small passerine migrant.
Take Exit 70 on the A 381 Algeciras - Seville road and then head along the service road under the main road southwards for c2 km. The sendero is signposted to your right at the top of a long slope. Park and follow the paths.
As noted above for the less energetic the shorter should produce most of the birds but walking along the reservoir may give you a chance of Balbuzard pêcheur. On the shorter walk look out en route for a couple of ancient cave shelters (in later years the haunt of charcoal burners and, allegedly, a refuge of bandits and brigands).
