For every bird was a thousand insects, and that says something considering the amount of birds I saw! Crickets were everywhere and with it, their predators. I noticed 2 abundant species of spider around the hotel;  Cyrtophora citricola and Argiope bruennichi. 

Something I didn't expect to see however was Dragonflies and there were a fair few flying around during the day. Most of them appeared to be Common Emperor Dragonflies but I'm no expert on Spanish Dragonflies so I'll have to look it up.
