  • 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.
