Birding Accommodation in Spain (Self-catering)

Situated in Barcelona's Penedés wine region and bordering the Garraf Natural Park, this recently renovated studio (on the ground-floor of a detached villa) is surrounded by wildlife such as golden orioles, bee-eaters and red squirrels.
It has its own swimming pool, Wi-Fi Internet connection and games room (with pool table & ping-pong) and is only 8km from the beautiful beaches, restaurants and nightlife of Sitges.
From here it's just a short train ride to the vibrant city of Barcelona and the area is well-served by airports in Barcelona, Reus and Girona.
Clients booking birding holidays or bird watching short breaks with Catalan Bird Tours will stay here each night thus avoiding the inconvenience associated with nightly accommodation changes.
However, it is also available for birding day tour clients, should they wish to take advantage of an earlier start or a some times cheaper alternative to distant pick-up points.

The region has plenty to do for all the family. From acivities like golf, horse-riding, hiking and water sports to living it up (or relaxing!) at night in nearby Sitges, a picturesque old Mediterranean coastal town with narrow streets and beautiful beaches.
Barcelona is only thirty minutes away from here by train and a further fifteen minutes will get you to Portaventura, a Universal family theme park.
