Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

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.

The Dehesa de Abajo Concerted Nature Reserve is the contact zone between the southernmost area of the Aljarafe region and the Guadalquivir marshlands. The combination of Mediterranean forest and marshland habitat gives rise to an exceptional variety of plant and animal species.

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.

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.

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.

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.
