You step out of Seville's morning light and the road loosens into flat marshland; the Atlantic wind begins to press a salt taste on your lips and the 4x4 rumbles toward reeds and open dunes. Doñana's plains open like a living map—salt pans, tidal channels, scattered umbrella pines—each habitat pushing and pulling wildlife into view.

History
Doñana's wetlands have been used for salt extraction and rice cultivation for centuries; the area rose to conservation prominence in the 20th century to protect its migratory bird habitats.
Conservation
Doñana is protected but sensitive: stick to tracks, avoid disturbing nesting areas and follow your guide's instructions to minimize impact on fragile dunes and wetlands.
