Riverwalk along the Rio Cinca

The wide-ranging river Cinca runs from Labuerda to Aínsa. Parallel to the river runs a gravel road of 2,5 kilometers from Camping Pena Montanesa to the village of Labuerda (or vice versa). A relaxed path for some nice and easy birding. Nothing spectacular but it’s tranquil and rich in birds. You can encounter all kinds of birds here. The star attractions are the large colony of Golden Oriole, the many European Bee-eater and raptors. Large groups of birds of prey and vultures can circle above you. Often mixed groups so that you can see Black Kite, Red Kite, Booted Eagle, Short-toed Snake Eagle, Egyptian Vulture and Griffon Vulture all above your head at the same time. Eurasian Hoopoe can often be seen in the neighbouring agricultural fields. Along the river you will find Grey Wagtail, Common Kingfisher, Common Sandpiper and some herons, but otherwise few water birds, because the fast-flowing river is pretty shallow. The wide banks of the river are strewn with gravel and if you want to walk more than the two kilometres of the path, you can stroll along the banks.
