Acebrķn Visitor Center

 

The Palacio del Acebrķn, with is interesting exhibition about the traditional uses of the land in Doņana, is located  in Arroyo de La Rocina  Protected Zone, half way up the stream and some 7 kms northwest of La Rocina Visitor Centre. 

This peculiar building was built by Luis Espinosa Fondevilla in the early sixties as a private residency and hunting lodge.

From the car park you can start a 1,5 km long - rounded - trail that goes through an outstanding mosaic of cork oak forests, reed beds, pine forests and the thickest riverbank forests. With no doubt, this is one of the most recommended places to visit in the area.


(Based on M.L.Rivera´s grafics)

It is specially good for its flowers in autumn and spring and its variety of Passerines. Otter lives in the lagoon all year round but doesn't show easily. This is the right place to go in the afternoon if it's too hot to go somewhere else.

Opening times: 9 am - 3 pm and 4pm - 7pm
