Nature & Conservation in Andalucía

This two-week itinerary lets you combine downtime with some volunteering - a great choice if you’re looking to do some good while on holiday. You’ll be helping at a local conservation project in the Laguna Primera de Palos, a private reserve that's part of Lagunas de Palos y las Madres Protected Site. Here, you'll be planting trees and shrubs, keeping tabs on mammals and bird species, constructing nest boxes, and helping to repair and maintain the likes of bridges and fencing. We’ve built in six visits over your fortnight stay, which means there’s plenty of time for R&R in between.

Six included activities
- Eradication of invasive flora and tree plantation
- Training on species of fauna to be found within the reserve / Bird count field work.
- Nest boxes
- Maintenance works
- Bird counting
- Bird ringing

There’s a wilder, 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.
