Doñana & El Rocío

Departure from your hotel in Seville or an agreed meeting point, at whatever time best suits your group. Our schedules are fully flexible and we can also arrange pickup from Granada, Málaga, Cádiz, or any other city in Andalusia. During the drive, your guide will brief you on the history and natural environment of the park.

Off-road vehicle tour through the dunes and marshlands of Doñana with expert local guides. The park encompasses over 247,000 acres of unique ecosystems: more than 31 miles of virgin coastline, the most complex dune system in Europe — with up to six dune ridges and heights of 26 to 33 feet — and some 86,000 acres of pristine marshland. You’ll observe the park’s varied wildlife: in winter, huge flocks of geese, cranes, and ducks; in summer, Booted Eagles, Black Kites, Glossy Ibis, and storks. And if you’re lucky, the Iberian lynx — with around 90 individuals in the park, the world’s most endangered wild cat — red deer, fallow deer, wild boar, and fox.

Transfer to El Rocío, steeped in traditional Andalusian culture. El Rocío is considered one of the most unique and picturesque villages in Europe: its unpaved, sandy streets seem to transport us to the Wild West. Here, horses coexist with visitors in a completely natural way. The Pilgrimage in honor of the Virgin of El Rocío draws thousands of people every year who travel long distances on foot or on horseback to reach the village, where on Pentecost Sunday they carry the Virgin on their shoulders. A celebration that has transcended borders and made this corner of Andalusia an unmissable destination.

A break to enjoy lunch and savor the local cuisine in a typical setting. Lunch is not included in the price so each group can choose freely, but if you wish, we can eat together: your guide will recommend the best local dishes so you don’t miss a thing — from the tiger shrimp of Sanlúcar to the Iberian ham from Jabugo. After lunch you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace.

A stroll through the sandy streets of El Rocío and a visit to the famous Shrine of the Virgin of El Rocío. In El Rocío it is common to see horses grazing among the whitewashed houses and flamingos in the lagoons just steps from the center. The afternoon light is perfect for photography. The itinerary includes moments of free time so you can explore at your own pace and enjoy additional experiences. Your guide will be available to share stories and answer all your questions.

Return journey to Seville in the late afternoon. This itinerary is flexible and can be adapted to your preferences, ensuring a personalized and unique experience. From immersion in the natural richness of Doñana to the tranquility of El Rocío, every moment is designed to give you an unforgettable memory.
