One of my favourite places is the Doñana national park, one of the biggest wetlands in Europe. This picturesque area of land and water, located in Huelva, in the sout-west of Spain, is a perfect refuge for wildlife.
The park is home to many beautiful and exotic species including red deer, boar, wild horses and flamingoes. Doñana is probablye the only home left in the overdeveloped south of Europe for endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the imprerial eagle. This scenic park also offers an opportunity for visitors to learn about the unspoilt flora of the region and its unique biodiversity.
Visitors are taken in groups, with speciall trained guides, to tour the park and learn about the different animals that live there and their habitats.
Visit Doñana national park, and you’ll be delighted. I’m sure you have never seen such a lovelly place before.
