Description

Join us for a butterfly tour in Andalusia, Southern Spain, this spring!

We’re very happy to be able to invite you to join us on this relaxing spring tour to Andalusia in Southern Spain, to look for some special local butterfly species and plenty of other wildlife during our visits to a wide range of habitats and locations in the area.

This two-base tour combines a selection of magnificent butterfly spots in spring in Southern Spain. This time of year sees South Spain at its most flowery and with 50+ species of butterfly on the wing in the area.

We’ll spend the first 3 nights near the coast, east of Málaga, and then the remaining 4 nights further inland near the historic town of Ronda. It is mainly known for its cliffside location and the deep canyon which carries the Guadalevín River and splits the town in two. There is a lot more to discover in Ronda, one of the oldest towns in Spain, and sitting within the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. We should find time to explore a little and learn more about the area, and fortunately our guide is not only a local resident but is also a qualified cultural guide too.

During the week, we’ll be looking for both locally common butterfly species such as the Spanish Festoon, but also highly localised ones, such as Common Tiger Blue and Desert Orange Tip. May is the month in Andalusia when specimens of both earlier and later flying species can be found with luck and local knowledge. We aim to draw on this with the help of our excellent local guide. We will also take the time to enjoy the flowers, birds, and other wildlife of interest during our daily excursion.
