3.Donana National Park and El Rocío: Guided Tour from Seville

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 240 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $107

Spend about 10 hours with a small group of up to 15, visiting rice fields, bird-rich marshes, El Rocío, La Rocina, Matalascañas beach, and Doñana’s pine forests. Guides such as José, Sergio, Ramón, and Patricia lead the day in English, though bilingual commentary can vary.

“This was a wonderful all day trip. Jose was very patient and knowledgeable about the area including the birds, mammals, reptiles, insects and plants. He knew where and when to see different species. We saw storks nesting, flamingos, spoonbills, grebes, geese, different ducks, larks, swallows, stone chats and deer, rabbits, ground nesting bees, signs of other animals and he even spotted a lynx! We had lunch in Rocio, we explored, beach, marsh and forested areas and returned after sunset. One tip-if you have a car, take an Uber to the office as Seville has very few all day parking spots.”

4.Horseback riding around Doñana National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 89 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $102Top rated

Leave Seville for Centro Ecuestre El Acebuche, where Dani and his team match you with a calm Andalusian horse. After practice in the ring, ride through olive groves, almond and orange trees, hay fields, sunflowers, and pine woods, then brush your horse and share a drink.

“This was my favorite activity I’ve ever done on a trip!! Dani was so nice and hospitable and has done such an amazing job training his horses. I was nervous going into it, but seeing how well-trained the horses were really put my nerves at ease. The farm was beautiful as well, and the dogs and cats were adorable and so friendly as well. I can’t recommend this experience enough. My only note to those who do: STRETCH BEFOREHAND. If not, you will wake up SO SORE the next morning!”
