International Ornithological Tourism Fair

The International Ornithological Tourism Fair–Extremadura Birdwatching Fair (FIO), considered the most important of its kind in southern Europe, takes place in the Monfragüe National Park (Cáceres).

This nature area is a exceptional setting for bird-watching, and a refuge for such emblematic species as the Iberian imperial eagle and the black vulture. The fair also has an exhibition area for companies and institutional associations, as well as a section for manufacturers and distributors of optical goods. The programme includes conferences on nature photography (FOTOFIO), a photography competition that has become a landmark in Spain, guided hiking routes, bird-ringing workshops, activities for children, and bird-watching from various viewing points throughout the Monfragüe National Park.
