Description

La Falconera is a very good place to look for sokol selec and puščavec. Other resident species present on the cliffs are skalna lastovka and šmarnica. In the breeding season some interesting species are planinski hudournik, and bledi hudournik.

During spring and autumn migration rdeca lastovka, and hribska listnica are present. In winter skalni strnad is present in the area. Over the sea some interesting seabirds can be seen: sredozemski galeb, balearski viharnik, vranjek, and strmoglavec.

Access

La Falconera is located just west of the village of Garraf. Parking during summer can be complicated, and perhaps the best option is to park in the port. Press a P on the map for directions. The area can be visited in 1 hour, but seawatching can be interesting and more time can be spent. In summer the area can be very hot, so better visit the site in the early morning.
