Urra Field Centre

Our Field Study Centre stand in nearly 100 hectares of our own land: semi-desert, ungrazed and unmolested by hunters for more than 30 years, but at the disposition of our guests. Some of our University groups (e.g. Environmentalists, Ecologists, Botanists etc.) find it unnecessary to go any further afield as they study the biodiversity of this fascinating and dynamic ecosystem.

Geologists and geographers already know that we are ideally situated for studies in the Sorbas Basin, the Tabernas Badlands, the Volcanics of Cabo de Gata, the Carboneras Fault Lines, the River Capture of the Rio Aguas and the world renowned Sorbas Gypsum Karst quite literally on our doorstep.

We are acknowledged and thanked in most of the published literature on the area, including multiple Ph.d theses. These, along with an excellent and extensive reference library, are available on request.

Now with this chanel we offer day/nightly recordings at Urrá to show the wild life here in the southern Spain.
