Where to watch
Fifteen places on both shores, from the Cazalla watchpoint to Jbel Musa. Each with what the open data says about it: which species define it, which week is its own and what protection it has. The southern shore has fewer observations, not less life.
Each point is an observation site and opens its page; hovering a card lights up its point. · Natural Earth cartography, public domain

Southern shore
