  • Cork trees (Quercus suber) and Wild Olive (Olea ueropaea var. sylvestris) with a rich abundance of natural underbush made up of Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus, Fillirea (Phyllirea angustifolia), strawberry tree (Arbutus uneda), Myrtle (Myrtus communis) and Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)<br />
These areas are some of the best examples of natural vegetation which have almost disappeared from the area.<br />
Doñana National & Natural Park. Huelva Province, Andalusia. SPAIN<br />
1969 - Set up as a National Park<br />
1981 - Biosphere Reserve<br />
1982 - Wetland of International Importance, Ramsar<br />
1985 - Special Protection Area for Birds<br />
1994 - World Heritage Site, UNESCO.<br />
The marshlands in particular are a very important area for the migration, breeding and wintering of European and African birds. It is also an area of old cultures, traditions and human uses - most of which are still in existance.

These are mobile sand dunes within the National Park. Initially formed on the beach the southwesterly winds pile up small mounds of sand around an obstacle or plant which as it accumulates becomes unstable and is progressively blown inland forming larger and larger dunes<br />
