- Search for rare and endemic birds, including the Cory’s shearwater, Bulwer’s petrel, houbara bastard, laurel and Bolle’s pigeons, plain swift, and blue chaffinch.
- Spend a full day exploring splendid Seville, the capital of Andalusia.
- Enhance your Azores expedition with an optional excursion to Marrakech, famous for its intact medieval architecture and bustling souks packed with vendors touting everything from fresh produce to high-quality leather goods.
