Birdwatching
There is an abundance of birdlife that would impress any birdwatcher !
Along the coastline, there are several excellent wetland reserves from Pego Marsh in the north to La Mata in the south. In between, there are the Santa Pola Salinas, Clot de Galvany and Salinas de Calpe, all worth a visit at any time. Slightly inland, there is Elche's flagship reserve El Hondo with breeding species such as the globally endangered White-headed, Marbled Ducks. Inland, the mountain region holds its own special set of species including Bonelli's, Golden Eagle, Rock & Cirl Buntings, Black Wheatear, and much, much more. (extract from Costa Blanca Bird Club).
