These week-long tours in the mountains of northern Spain will take us through meadows, forests and alpine habitats in search of butterflies & moths, offering a wealth of photographic opportunities. We can expect to see around 100 species of butterfly from our daily exploits, of a total of 155 recorded in the area.
A fun-filled family holiday designed to bring children into contact with nature.
