TRANSFER TO MALAGA AIRPORT AFTER BIRDING AT THE RIO GUADIARO (ESTACION CORTES), LLANOS DE LIBAR AND MONTEJAQUE CORK WOODS Well our last day had arrived at last and the weather was a little bit better. The wind had shifted round to the west and had reduced quite significantly so we were able to find sheltered areas. We set out at 9am and drove to the Guadiaro Valley at Cortes where we were out of the blustery wind.
