Donana National Park

Wildlife plays a key role in the unspoilt region of Costa de la Luz and the Donana National Park is one of the biggest wildlife sanctuaries in Europe.

Dating from the second century B.C. you can visit the restored theatre and walk along the former main street. You can also see the remains of the Roman public baths and even a Roman fish factory.

Beaches

The beaches on the Costa de la Luz are among some of the most unspoilt in Spain.
