Parque Nacional de Doñana
Spain's most celebrated and in many ways most important wildlife refuge, the
Doñana National Park, created in 1969, is one of Europe's last remaining great wet-
lands. Covering 542 sq km in the southeast of Huelva province and neighbouring
Seville province, this World Heritage site is a vital refuge for such endangered spe-
cies as the Spanish imperial eagle and Iberian lynx. It offers a unique combination
of ecosystems and a place of haunting beauty that is well worth the effort of getting
to. To visit the national park you must take a tour from the Centro de Visitantes El
Acebuche on the western side of the park, or from El Rocío.
