Most meals included – (B,L,D) denotes Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 1 – Arrival in Seville (D)
We’ll gather in Seville as everyone arrives and settles in, kicking things off with a relaxed welcome dinner. This evening is all about getting oriented—meeting your fellow photographers, reviewing the plan for the days ahead, and making sure everyone’s gear is dialed in. We’ll also talk through bird targets, shooting conditions, and what to expect as Andalucía unfolds. A low-key start to ease into the rhythm of the trip.

Day 2 – Seville → Córdoba (B,L,D)
After meeting in Seville, we’ll transfer together to Córdoba, trading the bustle of the capital for one of Andalucía’s most atmospheric historic cities. Once checked in, the afternoon is yours to recharge before we head out for an evening walking tour. We’ll explore Córdoba’s winding streets as the light softens, with opportunities for street scenes, architectural details, and birds weaving through the old city. We’ll spend the night in Córdoba.

Day 3 – Raptors & Genets (B,L,D)
We’ll start the day with a morning session at a dedicated hide focused on a large bird of prey—either Goshawk or Bonelli’s Eagle, depending on conditions. After a midday break to rest and review images, we’ll regroup for an evening visit to a genet hide, offering a rare chance to photograph this elusive nocturnal mammal. It’s a day that blends patience, anticipation, and very different photographic challenges. We’ll return to Córdoba for the night.

Day 4 – Eagles & Drinking Pools (B,L,D)
This morning, we’ll head to another raptor hide, targeting new species such as Spanish Imperial Eagle or Griffon Vultures (final species to be confirmed). From there, we’ll transition to a busy drinking pool hide where smaller birds come in close, fast, and often—perfect for action, behavior, and creative compositions. The afternoon is free to relax back in Córdoba, wander the city, or catch up on image edits. Another night in Córdoba.

Day 5 – Osuna Farmlands → Ronda (B,L,D)
We’ll spend the morning birding across the Osuna farmlands, a productive landscape for Eurasian Rollers, Lesser Kestrels, and Collared Pratincoles. After lunch, we’ll transfer south to Ronda, dramatically perched above its famous gorge. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a walking tour that combines city exploration with opportunities for birds in flight against golden-hour light. We’ll settle in for the night in Ronda.

Day 6 – Ronda Bird Hides (B,L,D)
Today is all about making the most of Ronda’s surroundings as we rotate between two bird hides set within striking mountain scenery. We’ll work different angles, light, and behaviors, taking time to refine technique and composition. Between sessions, there’s space to slow down and enjoy the landscape that makes this region so special. We’ll spend another night in Ronda.

Day 7 – Setenil & Optional Cave Visit (B,L,D)
We’ll wander through the white village of Setenil, photographing birds as they move through town and perch against its dramatic rock-overhang architecture. The afternoon is intentionally relaxed—a chance to rest, explore independently, or simply enjoy Ronda at your own pace. We’ll spend another night in Ronda.

Day 8 – Solar Eclipse & Migration (B,L,D)
We’ll rise early and drive to the Strait of Gibraltar, positioning ourselves in one of the best locations in Spain to witness the 2027 solar eclipse. After the eclipse, we’ll shift our focus skyward once more for hawk migration, with large numbers of Black Kites and White Storks moving through the strait. It’s a powerful day where celestial and avian spectacles intersect. We’ll return to Ronda for the night.

Day 9 – Doñana → Seville (B,L)
On our final day, we’ll travel back toward Seville with a productive birding stop in the eastern sector of Doñana. This area is often rich with waterbirds, including Greater Flamingos and Black-winged Stilts, offering a strong photographic finale. From there, we’ll continue on to Seville where we'll end at the airport after one last lunch together as a group.
