Pristine nature
Visit the Doñana National Park – classified as UNESCO World Heritage since 1980 – a Biosphere Reserve
The park is the largest ecological reserve in Europe, and is home to some unique flora and fauna, including many endangered species. It is also a nesting place on the migratory route for thousands of European birds. With a bit of luck, you may be able to spot Iberian lynxes, white imperial eagles, ichneumons (Egyptian mongoose) and many herbivorous species…
The diversity of this ecosystem with its mountains, marshes, pine forests, lagoons, cliffs and shifting dunes makes it one of the most incredible, preserved sites in Spain, boasting 30 km of untouched beaches…
Our sightseeing advice:
> To make sure you don’t miss any of this unique natural site, book a guided all-terrain tour, with binoculars and telescopes. A real adventure for even the youngest children.
> Take the Real Fernando tourist boat down the Guadalquivir river.
> Plan your own route along the cycle paths, hiking trails, and past observatories: for more information, inquire at one of the five visitor centres.
