A day in Tarifa and surroundings to admire an amazing natural performance. Bird migration across the Straits of Gibraltar
Tarifa and the old La Janda Lagoon offer magnificent sighting opportunities throughout the year, in addition to the always spectacular birds of prey migration during spring and late summer.
This is a visit any ornithology fan should miss. The Strait of Gibraltar is the closest point between Europe and Africa and the crossing point chosen by millions of migratory birds every year.
