Protected Natural Environments in Huelva Province

Although largely overlooked by foreign visitors, Huelva province contains some of Andalucia's most ecologically important wildlife areas, including the vast Doñana National Park, one of Europe's foremost wetland sites with an exceptional birdlife. Despite the ugly industrial sprawl around Huelva city and ever-increasing tourist development along its shores, Huelva's coast retains some significant wildlife enclaves, the largest after Doñana being the Marismas del Odiel Natural Area, with a sizeable spoonbill population, along with numerous other bird species. Inland is the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche Natural Park, clothed in dense Mediterranean woodland. Its network of old drovers' tracks make it ideal walking country.
