Seville enchants

La Corchuela Periurban Park is situated on the lands of a former farmstead of the same name. There are many attractions in this natural area, making it one of the most visited, mainly by people from the nearby towns of Dos Hermanas and Seville.

The Nature Reserve of the Endorreic Complex of Lebrija-Las Cabezas, together with that of Espera, are the last redoubt of a great lagoon system that ran through the entire countryside between Seville and Cadiz. Human activity has gradually reduced the wetland to the lagoons of La Cigarrera, Galiana, Peña, Pilón, Taraje (the only permanent one) and Charroao, known as Bujadillo or Herradura.

This park, dedicated to the peoples of the world, is located in Calle Real, the street that runs through the historic centre of this town, next to the Carmen Laffón Cultural Centre. It is a small green space where you can escape for a few hours or enjoy good company. 

The La Cañada de los Pájaros, the first Concerted Natural Reserve in Andalusia, is located in the Doñana region, albeit not within the Doñana Natural Park’s protected area. La Cañada, which opened to visitors in 1992, is situated in an old gravel pit that was restored and repopulated.

Most of the municipal district is given over to agriculture. Therefore, natural vegetation is limited to what remains of the original riparian forest along the banks of the River Guadalquivir. The river forms a bend in the northeast area of the district, where the space known as “La Playita” can be found.

This natural enclave is one of the most important in Europe. It is an extremely important wintering, migratory and breeding area for many bird species. Furthermore, it is one of the last havens for endangered wildlife species such as the Imperial eagle or the Iberian lynx.

Los Tollos Lagoon is located between Jerez de la Frontera and El Cuervo, in the provinces of Cadiz and Seville. It is considered of special ecological relevance, owing to the significant biological communities it harbours, and the relationship that humans have established with this space over time.
