Schedule
We travel to our location for the coming days. Depending on the flight times, we may head straight to the hides in the evening!
This trip is all about the Iberian lynx. We will be in the best hides available for this species. Some award-winning shots of Iberian lynx have already been taken here. Maybe you will capture a winning shot!
We travel back home. Depending on the flights, we will make the most of the morning.

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY HIDES
A total of 7 full days of hide photography are scheduled. We aim to book the flights so that we can be in the hides on both the departure and return days. You’ll hide with your camera in specially placed hides that offer the perfect opportunity to photograph the Iberian lynx.
A BREATHTAKING LOCATION
The photography hides are located on a private estate of 3,000 hectares. You’ll be at an average altitude of 600 meters above sea level, surrounded by a mosaic of cork and holm oak, elms, vast fields, and meadows. The estate is sustainably managed through the Iberian Lynx Life Project, in cooperation with the estate owner and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The nature at the estate is simply breathtaking.
BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY INCLUDED
For those interested, other hides in the area are available. You might capture red kites, steppe species, and even the Spanish imperial eagle.
ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORT
The accommodation is arranged and tidy without too many frills. We chose a small-scale family hotel that offers the necessary flexibility. Each participant is provided with a single room. If you wish to register as a couple or with friends and share a room, you can enjoy a discount of 120 euros per person. Please clearly mention this in the comments. All local transport is included in the price.
The international flights to and from Madrid are not included in the price of this trip. For guaranteed departure, STARLING will find you suitable flights (from Charleroi, Brussels, Amsterdam or another airport of your choice). Expect to pay between 400 and 500 euros per person for your flights. You can also choose to arrange your own flights.
CLIMATE, CLOTHING AND PHOTOGRAPHY
The weather varies greatly during this time of year, with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler nights. Rain is of course possible, but you’ll mostly be in a hut and therefore stay dry.
We recommend wearing black or dark-colored clothing with long sleeves during the hut sessions to avoid reflections and remain completely unnoticed.
In addition to a good and sharp zoom lens (for example, 16–85 mm), we recommend bringing a telephoto lens with a minimum focal length of 400 mm for this photography trip to Spain. Sometimes it’s useful to also bring a smaller (tele)zoom lens, for example, if the birds are sitting nearby. If possible, bring a tripod and a bean bag as well, so you have options on site.
Before departure, we will send you a detailed information sheet.
