Audio Guide of Loro Sexi Ornithological Park

Loro Sexi Ornithological Park, in Almuñécar, usually opens at 10:00 and closes between 14:00 and 19:00, depending on the season. I suggest always checking the latest opening hours on its Andalucía.org profile or calling +34 958 88 28 82 before your visit. It is located on Peñón del Santo, next to San Miguel Castle, so it is easy to reach on foot from the center of Almuñécar.

General admission to Loro Sexi Ornithological Park costs 3 euros. It is a very affordable fee that helps support the maintenance and care of the birds. There are not usually specific discounts, but because of its low price, it is an activity accessible to all visitors. I recommend bringing cash, just in case.

To fully enjoy Loro Sexi Ornithological Park and observe all the species at a relaxed pace, I recommend setting aside at least 1 to 2 hours. It is a compact space but full of life, ideal for a leisurely walk and for taking spectacular photographs.

Loro Sexi Ornithological Park does not have an ancient millennia-old history; rather, it was created as a space for the conservation and display of exotic birds. The name 'Sexi' comes from the name the Phoenicians and Romans gave to Almuñécar, 'Sexi Firmum Iulium,' which gives it a local and distinctive touch. It is a key place for environmental education on the Andalusian coast.

The best time of year to visit is during spring or autumn, when the weather is milder and more pleasant. As for the best time of day, I suggest going early in the morning, just after opening, or late in the afternoon. During these times, the birds are more active and the midday heat is less intense, especially in summer. This way, you will avoid crowds and enjoy a more intimate experience in the park.

Loro Sexi Ornithological Park has some accessible areas, but due to its location on a hillside and the natural topography, some sections may present difficulties for people with reduced mobility or strollers. It is advisable to contact the park directly by calling +34 958 88 28 82 before your visit to get detailed information about accessible routes.

Almuñécar is full of treasures! Right next to the park, you have the impressive San Miguel Castle, which offers spectacular views and a journey through history. You can also explore the El Majuelo Botanical and Archaeological Park, with remains of a Roman fish-salting factory. And of course, Almuñécar’s beautiful beaches are just a stone’s throw away for a refreshing swim.

Of course! I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and sunscreen, especially if you visit in summer. Do not forget your camera, as you will have the chance to photograph very colorful birds. Also, try to keep an open mind and take your time observing the birds—some are very curious and even interact! It is a small but charming place, ideal for switching off and enjoying nature.
