DOÑANA NATIONAL PARK

At the confluence of the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions, between Guadalquivir and the ocean, this former hunting reserve is a paradise of more than 100,000 ha (if we add the natural park) for fauna and flora. It consists of beaches, dunes (both moving and fossil, the park's dune system is one of the most complete in Europe), marshes and transition areas (La Vera), lagoon complexes with quicksand, as well as stabilized areas (cotos) covered with forests with pine forests containing many mammals. Located at the crossroads of the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cadiz, this national park, in a good state of conservation, is classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Indeed, this protected area, benefiting from a good climate, is of great richness for the European continent, since it is chosen by many bird species that migrate to Europe and Africa. This precious natural and ecological area thus serves as a refuge for more than 300 species of birds and even for some species of animals, unfortunately on the verge of extinction, including the Spanish lynx and the Iberian imperial eagle. Unfortunately, in the summer of 2017, there were fires at the site that caused damage, but no casualties.

To really realize a route in the heart of Doñana, it is necessary to use the services of the Cooperativa andaluza andaluza marismas del rocío, which holds the concession for visits by off-road vehicles. With a circulation of twice a day.
