Join Stephen Daly for the autumn migration in one of Europe's best birdwatching areas, southern Spain's Coto de Doñana!



download a report of one of our previous trips to Andalucia We are headed for a four-night stay beside Spain's most illustrious national park, the Coto Doñana. Here we stay at a small hotel in the remarkable village of El Rocío, which lies at the western edge of the Park. Even today its wide sandy streets, lined with wooden hitching rails for horses, elegant white-washed buildings and quite magnificent church engender a distinctly 'Wild West' feel. It's the perfect location for our break, as we get to grips with the abundance of birds and other wildlife that this immense national park has to offer.

Note: this trip may be booked in conjunction with our autumn 'Wings over the Strait' tour, running Sat 4-Wed 8 September 2010.
