The Doñana National Park is the largest National park in Spain and one of the most important in Europe. The 50,720 hectares of protected land is located within several provinces of southern Spain. The park consists of several unique ecosystems benefiting from the mild climate. The park is home to many important plant species and a wealth of wildlife. Many rare birds migrate here.

The authorities have managed to protect the area yet make it available for public use and enjoyment in the form of campsites, recreation grounds and long, golden beaches.

The various bird watching stations combine with excellent visitor information centres and planned walking or cycling routes. Each year the park receives hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Many of the villages and towns around the park are worthy of a visit. Such as the town of El Rocio, a unique and strange place of worship. Here you will also find a large lake (above) that is home to flamingos and other birds. Sit in the restaurant and enjoy the tranquillity.
