José Antonio Valverde V.C.

 

This is the most difficult to reach of all the centres, it seems as if you had to drive to the end of the world. Either from Seville via La Puebla del Río or from Villamanrique de la Condesa there is a public access but the route is not very well signposted and the tracks can be in very bad conditions. The easier and shorter access from El Rocío is limited to authorized vehicles.

A traditional hut surrounded by the marshes houses an interesting exhibition about the park focussed on the marshland. A 16 minute long film complete the information.

Toilettes, a bar with hot and cold drinks and snacks, and a souvenir shop are other facilities in this centre.

But what makes the long trip worth it is the lagoon around the building. In Spring, many thousand herons, ibis and egrets concentrate to nest on its trees and reed beds. This is one of the highlights of Doņana.

Opening times: October to May: 10am to 6pm
                           June to September: 10am to 8pm
