Description

Riberas del Guadaíra is a protected natural area located in the municipality of Alcalá de Guadaíra. It encompasses both banks of the Guadaíra River as it flows through the town and the Oromana pine forest. Throughout the year, many bird species visit the park and can be observed along its course. Some of these are: Gri balýkçýl, Yalıçapkını, Dağ kuyruksallayanı, Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Çulhakuşu, Kızılgerdan, İberya yeşil ağaçkakanı, Karabatak, Mavi Baştankara. Along the edges of this enclosure, you can find drier, flatter areas with a greater abundance of shrubs, where other species can be spotted: Arıkuşu, Kızıl Başlı Örümcekkuşu, Kızıl Keklik, Kerkenez.

Access

Riberas del Guadaíra can be reached on foot, by public transport, or by private vehicle (car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.). Access will be easier depending on the type of area you wish to visit. If you want to visit the pine forests and the riverside area, there are several access points. The main one is through the entrance to the municipal sports center (1). There is a large outdoor parking area, and it is easily accessible on foot. Press P on the map for directions. Other access points include the Dragon Bridge (2) or the San Francisco apartments (3). There is a bus stop at this location, served by lines M-104, M-123, M-123b, and M-221.

Access to the meadow areas is not as straightforward. I recommend parking your car in the parking lot next to the children's playground in the pine forest (4) and walking or cycling south (5).

Español: Se puede llegar al recinto a pie, en transporte público o en vehículo privado (coche, moto, bici...). El acceso será más sencillo dependiendo del tipo de zona que se quiera visitar. Si se quieren visitar los pinares y la zona de ribera existen varios accesos. El principal es a través de la entrada al polideportivo municipal (1). Hay un parking exterior amplio y se puede acceder bien a pie. Otros accesos incluyen el Puente del Dragón (2) o los pisos de San Francisco (3). En este último lugar existe una parada de autobús, donde paran las líneas M-104, M-123, M-123b y M-221

Por otro lado, el acceso a las zonas de pradera no es tan flexible. Recomiendo aparcar un vehículo privado en un parking junto al parque infantil del pinar (4) e ir andando o en bici en dirección sur (5).
