Third bird (festival in Montejaque)
Saturday, April 18, 2026 @ 3:36 PM
The Andalucia Bird Festival came to Montejaque for its 3rd edition this weekend. The opening session on Friday followed the format of previous years with speeches by dignitaries from the Junta de Andalucia, the Diputacion de Malaga, as well as Montejaque Town Hall and the Andalucia Bird Society.
After this welcome the exhibition was declared open and the visitors were able to enjoy the contributions of societies promoting birds and the environment from far and wide, including Portugal.
As for this attender, I bought a rather fine T-shirt commemorating 50 years of andalus, the bird and environment society; a mug; a fridge magnet and was given a super straw hat to add to my collection.
There was a complimentary paella for those attending, as well as a bar serving a range of drinks, including coffee and delicious cakes.
The programme of activities continued throughout Saturday and Sunday.
