Doñana is a symbol for all nature lovers, and especially for photographers. It is a wetland environment managed by man and transformed into a mosaic of marshland, pastures, forest, rivers, brooks and meadows. It is also one of the greatest sanctuarys in Europe for birds such as the Spanish Imperial Eagle and the Purple Heron.
We ride through the amazingly vast grain fields, an area which is considered Seville’s “breadbasket” where m any bird species feed. The dominant fauna is only one outstanding characteristic of the plateau. Here we have the opportunity to photograph species that are emblematic in this ecosystem; among them the Great Bustard, the Little Bustard and the Red Kite.
We pass Cork trees, Mediterranean bushes, hills covered with carob trees, riv e r banks, cliffs and crop fields where you will discover the Chaffinch, the Hoopoe, the Long-tailed Tit, the Glossy ibis, the Booted Eagle, Bonneli’s Eagle or the Griffon Vulture, among several others.
