Description
Apart from the unspoilt nature of this migration hotspot, there are chances to see Spanish endemic species such as Iberian Magpie and Iberian Grey Shrike as well as the endangered Spanish Eagle. The beach is 25 kilometres long and various gull species will be there. Note that access is limited to guided tours using 4-wheel drive vehicles and it may be compulsory to hire a guide.

Access
Access is limited to guided tours using 4-wheel drive vehicles. Check what's included. These can be booked online (see the link below) or in Seville and visitors may be collected from there; lunch may also be provided at the visitor centre and a visit to El Rocio is possible. It's not cheap (a tour of 4 hours is about € 30 per person), but it is more relaxing than self guiding, the guides know their territory and it's the only way to visit this area.
