INFORMATION
This hide is located in the Côa Valley Special Protected Area, an excellent area for the cliff-breeding birds. It is built on a huge slab of granite, with a wide forested landscape. The hide is oriented to the west, so the best time to use it is during the morning.
It is accessed with a 4×4 vehicle from the village of Algodres, initially on asphalt and the last km on dirt road.

The distance of the birds to the hide can be adapted by the arrangement of the food. However, the average distance is relatively short, being about 5 to 15m. There are several types of lenses we recommend, but a lens between 600 and 400mm to highlight more distant birds and perching in trees, or to highlight details. In addition, a focal length of 200mm to 300mm may be ideal for flight scenes, group situations or proximity. Converters. Photographers should bring their own tripod.
- It is strictly forbidden to smoke or make noise inside the hide;
- Mobile phones should be kept in silence mode;
