Tarifa: A Migration Paradise

If there is one thing that can define Tarifa and the Strait of Gibraltar, that is, without a doubt, the phenomenon of soaring bird migration.

The privileged geographical location between Europe and Africa and the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, make the Strait of Gibraltar a strategic place to witness the bird migration between the two continents and a destination no birder should miss out on.

Even though various groups of birds make use of this flyway, it is the soaring birds, given their great size and the spectacular gatherings of hundreds or even thousands of Honey Buzzards, Booted Eagles, Short-toed Eagles, Egyptian Vultures, Black Kites, White Storks, etc., that are most sought after.

Within this extensive birding territory, with many suitable places, different habitats and with highly unpredictable weather conditions directly having an impact on the way the birds move, the local knowledge and expertise of our team of guides play a key role to ensure you enjoy the best birdwatching experience of western Europe.
