DARUQA DELICATESSEN

Recommended by Lonely Birder

Located in Pago de San Clemente, near Trujillo, it is an ideal and strategic crossroad for birding. Within a radius of less than 45 min. you’ll find well-known locations such as the Bélen Plains, the Vegas del Guadiana rice fields and wetlands (the Sierra Brava Reservoir, Casa de Hito, etc.). The Monfragüe National Park is located a mere 45 min. away. This former winery offers the travelling birdwatcher the possibility to relax in an inviting, pleasant retreat. The accommodation’s 5 feathers aren’t just for show. The owners, Claudia and Martin Kelsey, are both genuine bird lovers, something that is evident in every corner of the house with numerous little homely details that make any birdwatchers stay agreeable: they take care of the swallow’s nests that chose El Recuerdo as their nesting spot and they also maintain the thistles in the garden so that the hawfinch families have food aplenty. Martin is also an expert birding guide. They have an extensive naturalist library available for the guest’s perusal in a cozy lounge with a fireplace. In addition to the guest book where you will find information and observations of previous guests, they also have a blackboard where they write down the […]

Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland: this is on the main island of the Orkneys. Next to the town of Kirkwall and near many RSPB reserves (Hobbister, Bridgar, The Loons and Loch of Banks, Cottascarth , Rendall Moss) This is an easy place to get around by bike, which you can hire in town. You can look for Great Skua, Twite, Red-throated Diver and Corn Crake on dry land in the reserves. There is no restaurant in the hote; but there is a fully-equipped kitchen. Very cosy and comfortable- you feel right at home here. There are supermarkets in town, a few minutes’ walk away. From the rear patio you can see Short-eared Owls at dusk among other birds.

ORCADES HOSTEL

Recommended by Guillermo Mayor

It’s located in the main square of Plasencia (Plaza Mayor), the city at the gate of the Jerte Valley and within 20 minutes from Monfrague National Park. It’s a classic establishment in Plasencia. The atmosphere is not specifically for birders but they serve very good, original and generous free tapas. It’s a good place to share dishes or portions although they also have a daily menu available for 10€ and 12€ at the weekend, with an extensive variety of starters and main courses. Early breakfast is not served as it opens at 8:30 am (9:00 am at the weekends) but if you are up around at that time try their Churros (Spanish Sweet Fritters), Migas extremeñas (Traditional Fried Breadcrumbs with meat), etc.
