Hi all

I'm planning a trip to southern Spain later this month (September). Based half way between Ronda and Gibraltar and would appreciate any suggestions for good locations to see the following species along the coast anywhere between Tarifa (Estrecho Natural Park) and Estepona although appreciate that Desert Orange tip may require a trip much further east unless anyone knows otherwise?

Any good spots for Monarch and Two-tailed Pasha also appreciated.

• Medditeranean Skipper
  Zeller's Skipper
  Desert Orange Tip
  African Grass Blue
  Common Tiger Blue
  Nettle-tree Butterfly
  Aetherie Fritillary
  Two-tailed Pasha
  Monarch
  Plain Tiger

Thanks for your suggestions in advance. Much appreciated.
Steve

Monarch butterflies can be found in the botanical gardens, Gibraltar, where they breed.

Desert Orange Tip I've seen only once, in Malaga in late September. African Grass Blue Malaga too, in the dried up riverbed.
