Parque Nacional de Doñana (Doñana National Park)
Parque Nacional de Doñana is formed by the delta of the river Guadalquivir which unlike most rivers only has one outlet to the sea just below Sanlúcar de Barrameda. What used to be the rest of the delta has become blocked from the Atlantic by extensive dunes. This has created a vast coastal marshland (marismas).
