The list of protected bird species in the "Desfiladero de los Gaitones" national park is long and interesting - both with migratory birds and 'permanent residents'.

The migratory birds take a well-deserved break around the lakes in Southern Spain before crossing the Streach of Gibraltar and continue over the Sahara dessert. This gives bird entusiasts a great opportunity to experience them during their holidays at the Costa del Sol.

On the marked routes in the national park there are great possibilties to study the bird life.
