Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

This stream is included in the Doñana Natural Park because it is an ecological corridor between Doñana National Park and the Sierra Morena.

This place stands out in the Natura 2000 network in Andalusia due to its special importance for the conservation of riverside habitats, some fish species of the Habitats Directive and, in general, the river ecosystem and its essential function of facilitating connectivity as an ecological corridor. 

The Abrevadero Mine, listed as a Site of Community Importance (SCI) and a Special Conservation Area (SCA), is located in the northwest of Villanueva del Río y Minas.

A multi-species breeding colony of five different bat species has been found in this mine, including the Mehely’s horseshoe bat (R. Mehelyi).

This Special Conservation Area (SCA) covers some 4,772 ha, mostly in the province of Seville. This site features prominently in the Andalusian Natura 2000 network owing to its special importance for the conservation of riparian habitats, certain fish species included in the Habitats Directive and, in general, the river ecosystem and the connectivity it provides as an ecological corridor.

The River Guadiamar rises at El Castillo de las Guardas and an affluent on the right bank of the River in the Doñana marshland.

The River Guadaíra, on its course through Alcalá, gives rise to many riverside parks, in total around 120 hectares of green areas. These zones were declared a Natural Monument by the Governing Board of the Andalusian Regional Government on the 30th December 2011, in acknowledgment of its natural and eco-cultural values.

Sierra Morena de Sevilla Natural Park, located in the north of the province of Seville, is a protected natural area that was declared a natural park in 1989.
