A young flamingo appeared on La Herradura beach (in Andalucía's Granada province) on the morning of Wednesday 23 August
It was a swimmer who first noticed the bird near the shore
She picked it up and took it to the lifeguard post
where Granada's Centre for the Recovery of Endangered Species (CREAS) was notified
was put in the first aid station facilities until CREAS professionals arrived
so that it wouldn’t be disturbed by curious onlookers
According to a representative from CREAS Granada
which is located on the antigua carretera de Sierra Nevada
7 between Pinos Genil and Cenes de la Vega and who SUR in English spoke to on Thursday 24 August
the flamingo is recovering well and has no injuries
weak and slightly underweight when it was brought in to the centre
They added that the bird would stay at CREAS for some time until staff are happy that it has fully recovered from its ordeal
before being taken to a lagoon with other flamingos
The representative went on to say that although they don't know where it had come from as it wasn't tagged
flamingos are struggling to find water sources due to the drought and they believe that this young bird had probably been separated from its mother after becoming tired during a journey to look for water

is the spiritual home of the Rodriguez brothers
and it was in El Yelmo that they first spread their acro wings
From there the 20-plus sites of Andalucia are spread out in a triangle
with Algodonales in the south-western corner
and Huecija on the coast in the south-east
In between are the big mountains of the Sierra Nevada
The peaks fall rapidly to the coast at Almunecar
and big XC flights from mountain to sea are common

Further inland the terrain can be either flat
covered in olive trees as far as the eye can see
Slot in between the groves or land on the road
and most sites will see local pilots at the weekend and have a school or club attached
schools and clubs flock here from central and northern Europe in winter to take advantage of the open access and open skies
but it’s still best to check with locals before you fly or use a site
Some sites have restrictions – you’re not allowed to launch from inside the Sierra Nevada National Park
the name of the game is hire a car and explore
You’ll discover that the Spain of your imagination really does exist
Conquering Europe’s highest paved road is a war of attrition
