T he Guadalteba region, located to the North West of the Malaga
province (Andalusia, Spain), is an area known for its ornithological
treasures. The diversity of its landscapes and environment makes
this region a place where a great number of bird species – which can be
spotted with some regularity – fly over, hibernate and breed.
In the Guadalteba region we find contrasting landscapes, varying
between aquatic ecosystems to quite important mountain ranges;
and from almost flat areas for cereal crops and scrublands to a large
percentage of olive groves, as well as river and stream sections crossed
by small riverside forest areas.
The landscape has been shaped by the Mediterranean climate with a
touch of Continental weather. This weather is typified by its very cold
winters and frosts, and dry and hot summers with minimal rain.
Within this region we must highlight very important ornithological
areas as they accommodate a large variety of bird species. Some of these
species are true ornithological treasures because of their rarity.
Within these zones we have the Campillos Lakes formed by a group
of eight temporary lakes with internal drainage. The two lakes that
stand out are the Capacete Lake and the Dulce Lake. The Dulce Lake
has an ornithological observatory to be used by observers. Both lakes
accommodate a large number of hibernating species when their levels
of water are at their maximum. They also accommodate nesting species
during the periods when they have a good level of water throughout
the year.
Amongst the rocky formations, the Natural Park of the Los Gaitanes
Gorge stands out for its particular beauty. This area is formed by a
narrow and deep pass sculpted in the limestone rock by the waters of
the Guadalhorce River and by the mountain ranges that surround it.
Here, we can gaze at true natural sculptures, which are home to a large
number of bird species.
Other important areas are located among the mountain ranges of Cañete,
Alcaparaín and Peñarrubia. These mountains surround cultivation areas,
scrublands and riverside forests where a large number of species build
their nests, feed, spend the winter or simply rest during their migration.
Guadalteba region is definitely a privileged area as it is relatively close to
the Strait of Gibraltar and because it counts on a wide variety of habitats.
The Strait of Gibraltar is also an entrance doorway for the migratory
African species. Ornithologists and nature lovers will generally find in
Guadalteba endless reasons to focus the zoom lens of their binoculars
and cameras to capture and take home part of Guadalteba’s natural
treasure.
