Doñana Natural Park

Huelva

A haven for biodiversity


Surrounding Doñana National Park like a peripheral protective cushion, the nature reserve with the same name is made up of four separate spaces that, when combined, span more hectares than the national park itself and share a mosaic of similar habitats and importance. Part of this space is made up, like the national park itself, by the great Doñana Biosphere Reserve.

Distributed between the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cadiz and barely distinguishable from the national park, the nature reserve also plays host to enormous biodiversity in its areas of Mediterranean forest, pastures, fossil dunes, pine forests, marshland, the list goes on. For example, it also part of the Doñana Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) and is registered in the Ramsar convention on wetlands of international importance.Here, you can catch glimpses of waterfowl, imperial eagles and, with a little bit of luck, the elusive and very rare Iberian lynx, in addition to a variety of other species.

Useful information

What you need to know


  • Cultural information

    The relationship between man and nature that, throughout history, has been established between Doñana and its inhabitants, is one of the most interesting elements to learn about on a visit. Within the boundaries of the nature reserve is the town of Moguer, one of the milestones on the Columbian route to Huelva. Moguer is a town that has preserved the purest Andalusian style in its architecture. It is worth visiting the dock-pier on the River Tinto, home to the shipyards where one of the three caravels that participated in the discovery of America was constructed.

  • Environmental information

    More than 500 plant and animal species of high ecological value call the area surrounding Doñana home.
