Marshland to the South
South of Seville is the Guadalquivir River Plain that flattens out into a somewhat monotonous landscape relieved by the occasional whitewashed town or village, the most interesting of these being Lebrija and Utrera.
Southeast of Seville is Alcalá de Guadaira and, close to the Cadiz provincial border, the charming hilltop village of Morón de la Frontera. Both of these retain remains of their important Moorish heritage.
The Guadalquivir river estuary has several important wetland sites, which are popular with migrating birds in spring and autumn and, in winter, flocks of wildfowl. Brazo del Este Natural Area is the most remarkable of these and features a large population of purple gallinules along with over 200 species of other birds. Near the river delta is a series of lakes in the Lebrija - Las Cabezas Natural Reserve and the Utrera Natural Reserve, both of which also attract a significant number of birds. The Guadalquivir delta forms part of the protected environs of the Doñana National Park.
