CAFETERÍA RESTAURANTE ESTRECHO QUINTO GAS STATION | Lonely Birder

Situated in a gas station on the N240 (Lleida-Huesca), 300m before the Loporzano detour. They are open until 23:00h and you can eat there at any time of the day. It is a good meeting point for birders who want to bird the Natural Park of the Sierra y los Cañones de Guara Natural Park (Huesca Pre-Pyrenees, NE Spain), a sanctuary for Bearded Vultures and one of the best places to see Wallcreeper in winter among other Mediterranean and cliff-dwelling species (Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Peregine Falcon, Black Wheatear, etc.).

This birding area offers few places where you can eat at any time or have a good breakfast before going birding, so is becoming a mandatory stop before or after a visit to the Natural Park.

Good food at a great price, attentive service. Meals on request (paella, grilled meat, even snails!). Homemade daily menu for 10 € (fidua on Wednesday, “cocido” on Thursday…) and terrace available.

RED MILL HOUSE

Stablishment recommended by Guille Mayor

Hotel located in Matalascañas, at the gates of the Doñana National Park. Very good location to visit the Natural and National Park, 15 km from Rocío, marsh with lots of birds and good place to see, with luck, the Iberian lynx. The Acebuche Center is located halfway between these two locations and the Doñana beach is fantastic to see waders and seabirds. The hotel consists of several types of rooms, from simple to familiar and from different categories. The founder of the establishment is a great connoisseur of the area and especially of its birds. They have all kinds of documentaries, high quality photographic material of the birds that could be observed. They make special price to birders customers.
