Birdwatching in Huelva
Look forward to enjoying five excursions including visits to Doñana National Park in the company of an experienced Saga wildlife host, who will recap on the day's sightings each evening.
Five included birdwatching excursions
Huelva's countryside (half day)
Sierra Pelada and Sierra de Aracena (full day)
Marismas del Odiel and Laguna del Portil (full day)
Northern Doñana National Park (full day)
Southern Doñana (full day)
There’s a softer, more rustic side to Andalusia on the Costa de la Luz, and the pace of life is slower than in some of the more touristy spots. This hotel is a popular choice for wildlife and birdwatchers, who love its location surrounded by a huge nature reserve criss-crossed with walking and cycling trails. And it certainly makes the most of its stunning location, with its rooftop terrace, two outdoor swimming pools (one adults-only), indoor heated pool and spectacular views from every room. The pillow menu and tea and coffee-making facilities mean you’ll soon feel at home in your room, and you can also immerse yourself in local culture at the hotel with botanical tours and Spanish language classes.

Local Area
El Rompido is a quiet Spanish fishing town set at the mouth of the Piedras River. There’s a string of cafes and restaurants lining the waterfront, and a small town square complete with traditional whitewashed church. Back at the hotel, guests can follow well signposted walks onto the protected nature reserve, where 14km of trails reveal beautiful marshlands, pine forests and shifting sand dunes.
Optional excursions
Huelva's countryside
Journey inland as you explore the Andalusian countryside, where you’ll see massive wheat fields stretching from Huelva to Seville and Cordoba. Watch out for a glimpse of rare animals such as the Grey Mongoose, together with birds of prey including the Black-winged Kite.
