Description
The Marismas de Trebujena here were unsuccessfully converted to grazing land but soon reverted to dry saline marshes. An ambitious scheme, completed in 2024, has restored wetland pools and habitats with the aim to attract grebenasta liska, marmorna raca and beloglavka (all of which occur locally). It should also prove attractive to other ducks (tatarska žvižgavka, sivka. etc) and wading birds like sabljarka, polojnik, rjava komatna tekica and good variety of migrant waders. Check also for larks, raptors and biserna stepska kokoška. There's a car park, footpath and two viewing platforms which give views over large lagunas and saline marshes beyond.

Access
Access to Marismas de Trebujena is best via Trebujena to the north east as the track from Bonanza/Samlucar is currently in a very poor state. Follow the road south-west along the Guadalquivir from the Embarcadero de Trebujena. The first pools will soon appear on your left and you will reach car park after abot 3 km. From here you can walk to the two viewing platforms.
