• HIDE "LA ESTEPA"

Hide La Estepa

Our hide “La Estepa” is a seasonal one person photography hide with a one way window, strategically looking out over grain fields and rain-flooded lands. The backgrounds are far away enough to get individual shots of our subjects.

It is visited by species such as common cranes, western marsh harriers, common buzzards, red kites and other steppe birds.

This is a seasonal hide, so it can be visited only when full activity can be guarantee.

It is located in the countryside of the village El Oso, in the Spanish province of Avila, one and a half hours away from Madrid.
