This picturesque small village is well know in Spain for its famous pilgrimage. Its normally relaxing atmosphere and beautiful sceneries make of it an ideal base to explore the National Park and surroundings.

Just next to the village you will find one of the best ornithological spots in the region: the Mother of the Marshes. You can easily walk all around it and enjoy its beautiful dusks and dawns.

Near the southern end of the walk you will find the ruins of what a few years ago was the Spanish Ornithological Society Centre in 

Doñana. It burned down accidentally and we are still waiting for it to be rebuilt. Still, in that poor conditions, it is a good view point over the marshes.

The empty fields to the east and south are well worth a walk for its attractive sceneries and birds. Specially good at Larks and other Passerines.

There is someone normally charging for parking your car around the church but it is very easy to avoid it; just get into the village and park in any street.

Bars and restaurants spread all over the village, on the map we show some the location of some of them.

Besides the Sanctuary which is open every day to everyone for visits and mass services, you can visit the Religion and History Museum, next to the southern exit of the village. Close on Monday and Twesday. Tel: 959 442 166

There is a small information centre next to the Sanctuary byside the marshes.
