Columbretes

“Large numbers of herring gulls build their nests on La Ferrera and La Foradada, but not on Columbrete Grande. In the spring, they come to Columbretes, where, as harbingers of the season, they are welcomed with joy... When they fly, they move slowly, with delight. They fly not with an objective, but rather for fun. Their silvery white colour can be seen clearly against the blue of the sea, like ethereal figurines.”
