From rugged sierras to ancient oak forests and vast wetlands, every setting tells a different story. Our itinerary is shaped by the rhythms of nature and the habits of the animals, giving you the chance to photograph them in the best possible light and conditions. With expert guidance throughout the tour, you’ll sharpen your skills while creating images that carry both technical strength and emotional impact. You can expect to encounter: Birds of prey including Bonelli’s eagle, golden eagle, black vulture, and more Wetland species such as flamingos and European cranes Iconic mammals like red deer, foxes, the Iberian lynx, and the elusive genet   Wild Landscapes and Timeless Scenes Beyond the wildlife, Andalucía’s landscapes are a visual feast. Towering mountains, olive groves stretching to the horizon, and dense Mediterranean woodlands set the stage for your work behind the lens. In the soft morning haze or warm evening light, even a quiet scene takes on cinematic beauty. Every region we visit reveals a different aspect of the connection between nature, land, and history. These are the kinds of places where photography feels like storytelling — rich, slow, and deeply rewarding.   Bonelli’s Eagle: A Rare Wildlife Photography Subject One of the most compelling opportunities on this tour is the chance to photograph Bonelli’s eagle in its Andalusian habitat. As one of Spain’s most threatened raptors, its continued presence here is both a privilege and a reminder of the importance of conservation. From rocky cliffs to oak woodlands, observing this agile predator in the wild is an unforgettable experience. Capturing it in flight or perched in the morning sun is a highlight for any wildlife photography portfolio.   Golden Eagle: Majesty Against the Andalusian Sky Photographing the golden eagle in Andalucía is a study in both grace and power. Often spotted soaring across vast open valleys, this bird commands the sky with a presence that is impossible to ignore. Framing its flight or its intense gaze against the dramatic backdrop of southern Spain is a moment every wildlife photographer dreams of — and one this tour makes possible.   Elusive Icons: Iberian Lynx and Common Genet No wildlife photography tour in Andalucía would be complete without the thrill of pursuing two of its most elusive residents: the Iberian lynx and the common genet. The lynx, once critically endangered, now roams carefully protected scrublands where it moves like a shadow, cautious and alert. The genet, a graceful and mysterious nocturnal creature, glides through the darkness with elegance. Both animals offer extraordinary rewards for photographers with patience and a love for storytelling through images.   Your Wildlife Photography Journey This is more than a trip — it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the art and practice of wildlife photography. Your guide, an expert in both the region and the craft, will help you understand animal behavior, field techniques, and how to work with natural light to create strong, evocative images. We’ve carefully selected locations and times that maximize photographic opportunities. You’ll move at a photographer’s pace, with the freedom to wait, observe, and respond to moments as they unfold.   A Tour Crafted for Photographers Picture yourself crouched quietly in a hide, watching cranes land in still water at sunrise — or standing on a hilltop as an eagle rides the thermals above you. From the gentle hush of oak forests to the electric excitement of a lynx sighting, this tour is designed to immerse you in the real work of wildlife photography. Whether you’re building your portfolio or simply capturing moments of connection with nature, this experience is tailored to give you both inspiration and results.
