The “Loro Sexi”
Ornithological Gardens were opened in May 1987, and today hold some
1500 birds, belonging to 200 different species. This fascinating selection
ranges from the common dove to the spectacular peacock, and includes
colourful parrots, Guacamayo cockatoos, swans, ducks and many more.
Especially attractive for children are the ostriches that wander around
the park. Over 30,000 visitors a year are proof of the success of
the park . |
Thanks
to the dedicated work of the staff, many birds have bred
within the park, which has
become firmly established as one of the prime tourist attractions
in Almuñécar. It is located on the slopes of the hill
below the San Miguel castle, between the Botanical Garden and the
Roman fish-curing factory, near the Majuelo Park and Plaza de Abderramán.
It is only 100 m from the sea-front, up one of the prettiest footpaths
in Almuñécar. |

Cactus
Garden:
This is another
attraction within the Ornithological Park, at the highest part, just below
the Moorish walls of the castle. The aridity of the Cactus Garden provides
a vivid contrast with the lush greenery of the Majuelo Park and the exuberant
sounds rising from the Ornithological Park.
