DOÑANA
Doñana invites you to lose yourself among the marshes, dunes, and wildlife… and to reconnect with what truly matters.
Doñana is an international benchmark for its extraordinary diversity of flora, fauna, and landscapes, featuring geological features of immense value. Its European significance as a major wetland at the southern tip of the continent is outstanding, and it boasts a magnificent network of visitor centers, trails, and observation points that will delight even the most discerning ecotourist.
Its landscapes are irresistibly enchanting. Marshes, dunes, pine forests, and Mediterranean scrub (known as cotos), the vera (the transition zone between the forest and the marsh), lagoons, and the beach. Ecosystems linked to such iconic wildlife species as the Iberian lynx or the imperial eagle, in addition to a vast array of waterfowl. Rice paddies, horse breeds such as the Marismeña or El Caballo de las Retuertas, as well as the Marismeña cattle breed, with its unique wild cows, are also part of the landscape’s identity.
A region also rich in culture and history. Of deeply rooted traditions, as varied and spectacular as the Romería de El Rocío, the Saca de las Yeguas, or the horse races on Sanlúcar Beach. Of the history of sailors and adventurers. It is a region of local products such as its rice dishes, its wines, its grape must, its crabs, its pine nuts, its berries, its honey, its prawns, and the meat of the Mostrenca calf…
