Doñana<br />

Huelva<br />

At present, the National<br />

Park of Doñana keeps its<br />

traditions alive, at the same<br />

time it is open to new times<br />

with the main objective of<br />

continuing to be the most<br />

important wetlands in Europe.<br />

Each year flocks of geese<br />

arrive in tens of thousands,<br />

establishing their winter<br />

home here in the marshes.<br />

Large colonies of spoonbills,<br />

purple herons, night<br />

herons, squacco herons,<br />

storks make the tree tops of<br />

the old cork oaks into giant<br />

birdcages, a unique sight,<br />

especially at sunset.<br />

The Iberian lynx and the imperial<br />

eagle are emblematic<br />

species in the National<br />

Park of Doñana. For nature<br />

lovers, there are companies<br />

dedicated to action<br />

holidays that organise<br />
