Parque Nacional de Donana Description

Area: 75,765 hectares/187,140 acres

Parque Nacional de Doñana is the largest of the Spanish national parks, and perhaps the most interesting, with a fauna which incudes many African species. It lies in the delta at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, on the very edge of Europe and on the route followed by migratory birds on their way to Africa. There are two different ecosystems in the park - the wetlands (Doñana húmedo), consisting of the marisma or fenland in the river delta and the lagoons (only a few hundred hectares of which are within the national park), and the dry area (Doñana seco). The areas which are under water for most of the year (almajales) consist of the abandoned channels of the Guadalquivir (caños), the ojos (springs)
