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.

The prices are a bit steep for thisarea but the location is unbeatable. They offer. Situated in the hear of Los Esteros de Iberá, the largest reserve in Argentina, where more than 350 bird species and 60 mammal species have been recorded. This pension/ hotel has a typical daily menu, the meals featuring seasonal produce. The food is basic but not bad at all. The prices are a little high and the price/ quality ratio is not the best. There are other accommodation options in the area, all offering more or less the same.

PENSIÓN RESTAURANTE CAL CELSO

This is a typical northern restaurant specialising in grilled meats, free range chicken, stewed oxtail and grilled cod. All dishes are homemade and delicious, including home made french fries that are very rarely found in restaurants nowadays. Excellent quality/price value. The portions are superb!

Georgian mountains: situated at 3700m asl, probably the highest accommodation in Europe. At the foot of the 5030m Mt Kazbek and on Gergeti Glacier, this is an ideal locale for the most adventurous birders. Thanks to the altitude, a minimum period of altitude acclimisation is recommended prior to your visit, as well as attaining a good level of physical fitness, as there is a 6hr walk upslope to the refuge. Also recommended is getting to know how to cross the glacier with its crevices and keeping yourself updated on meteorological conditions. You should take everything you need to eat and sleep with you, and take all your rubbish away with you when you leave! Around the refuge it is easy to observe Güldenstädt´s Redstart, Great Rosefinch, Snow Finch and Alpine Accentor. During the ascent and descent you cross Caucasiuan Grouse and Caucasian Snowcock territories. West Caucasian Tur and Stoat are some of the mammals you can come across throughout the year, while Brown Bear is mostly seen during the summer months. It is possible to hire horses from the town to take your bags up to the refuge. The refuge has various rooms with six bunks. The beds are quite […]
