Excellent one-week lynx and raptor observation course in Spain. The animals were observed in good conditions and the group atmosphere was very good.

Die «Wild Spain» Fotoreise war meine erste überhaupt. Denn ich wollte unbedingt die seltenen und extrem schönen Iberischen Luchse sehen und fotografieren.
Dieser Wunsch wurde bereits in den ersten Tagen mehr als erfüllt! Verschiedene hübsche Singvögel haben Wartezeiten im Hide überbrückt. Die Unterkunft war recht einfach, dafür aber nur ein paar Schritte vom Hide entfernt.
Am zweiten Standort war das Hotel sehr viel besser, dafür mussten wir einige Minuten zu den kleinen Hides fahren um verschiedene Greifvögel aus kurzer Distanz zu fotografieren. Milane, Steinadler und sogar Geier haben ihre Flugshows direkt vor der Linse aufgeführt!
Das Vesprechen, all diese Tiere fotografieren zu können, wurde zu 100 % erfüllt! Gefallen hat mir insbesondere der Humor der Teilnehmer, der Fokus auf das gemeinsame Hobby und die Disziplin in den Hides.
Sich mit einer fast nur italienisch sprechenden Gruppe zu verständigen war zwar nicht ganz einfach. Mit einem Mix aus verschiedenen Sprachen ist es aber doch ziemlich gut gelungen.
Es war sicher nicht meine letzte Fotoreise – und ich suche bereits jetzt nach weiteren Reisezielen. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Wild Spain-Tour eher ein günstiges Angebot ist – und absolut preiswert.

The "Wild Spain" photo tour was my very first. I was determined to see and photograph the rare and incredibly beautiful Iberian lynx.
This wish was more than fulfilled in the first few days! Various pretty songbirds kept me entertained while waiting in the hide. The accommodation was quite basic, but only a few steps from the hide.
At the second location, the hotel was much nicer, but we had to drive a few minutes to the small hides to photograph various birds of prey at close range. Kites, golden eagles, and even vultures performed their aerial displays right in front of the lens!
The promise of being able to photograph all these animals was 100% fulfilled! I particularly enjoyed the participants' sense of humor, their focus on their shared hobby, and the discipline shown in the hides. Communicating with a group that spoke almost exclusively Italian wasn't always easy. However, with a mix of different languages, we managed quite well.
This certainly won't be my last photo tour – and I'm already looking for other destinations. I noticed that the Wild Spain tour is a rather inexpensive option – and absolutely good value for money.

Esperienza unica in un posto unico!
Questa è la sintesi perfetta del workshop in Finlandia.
Tutto al di sopra delle aspettative.
Trascorrere anche solo pochi giorni in questo posto è qualcosa di indescrivibile.
Alessandro è un fotografo bravissimo e un grande esperto di questo settore, ma non solo, riesce sempre a creare la giusta situazione sia a livello fotografico, sia a livello umano!
Posso dirlo perché questo non è il primo workshop che faccio con lui e ho sempre visto da parte sua la voglia di creare subito un legame con il gruppo.
Grazie Ale e grazie Finlandia!🤍🇫🇮

A unique experience in a unique place!
This perfectly sums up the workshop in Finland.
Everything exceeded expectations.
Spending even just a few days in this place is indescribable.
Alessandro is a brilliant photographer and a great expert in this field, but not only that, he always manages to create the right atmosphere, both photographically and personally!
I can say this because this isn't the first workshop I've done with him, and I've always noticed his desire to immediately create a bond with the group.
Thank you Ale and thank you Finland! 🤍🇫🇮

Mi sono trovato molto bene con Alessandro, la sua conoscenza del luogo mi ha permesso di portare a casa tante emozioni e tante belle foto, mi ha dato ottimi consigli su come usare meglio la mia atrezzatura e anche per la postproduzione. Mi sarebbe piaciuto essere in un gruppo più "allenato" alla montagna, in questo modo avremmo perso meno tempo negli spostamenti a piedi ma questo non dipende ovviamente da Alessandro. Detto ciò posso ritenermi più che soddisfatto, mi porto a casa una bellissima esperienza e tanti bei ricordi, grazie mille.

I had a great time with Alessandro. His knowledge of the area allowed me to take home so many emotions and so many beautiful photos. He gave me excellent advice on how to best use my equipment and also on post-production. I would have liked to be in a group more "trained" in the mountains, so we would have wasted less time walking, but that obviously isn't Alessandro's fault. That said, I can be more than satisfied. I'm taking home a wonderful experience and so many wonderful memories. Thank you so much.
