    Just to make clear, that's £30 each per night for two sharing a twin room. I think it was about £35 for a single room.

    One week at el Rocio wouldn't be enough, it's a huge area. However, if you get lucky with the weather, then I would say you need at least a day and a half, so minimum two nights. That would give you half a day around el Rocio itself, followed by a full day (and it would be FULL, no time for...

    Yes, all of the advice was very helpful in helping plan our itinerary. We didn't bother with the Valverde centre because you said it was dry, and that probably saved us a couple of hours, and allowed us to spend more time at other places. Thanks to everybody who gave us advice.

    Any news from Donana recently?

    I've just returned from a long weekend in the Coto Donana. Over the next day or two I'll be putting together a trip report, and will go into detail about our itinerary and the sites we visited, but since I asked the question here originally, it seems only right to let you know some basic...

    Any news from Donana recently?

    Yep that's the kind of thing I'm hoping for. We saw some very late paddies being harvested last year. We decided to go a few weeks earlier to stand a better chance of seeing more this year, but didn't want to go too early and get there before the majority of the cranes. Thanks. Can't wait...

    Any news from Donana recently?

    Thanks Peter, I've been to Donana a few times before, including at this time of year, so I won't be chasing all of the specialities. It's just break and a chance to see the spectacle of the place which I'm looking for. I particularly love seeing the big flocks of cranes. Obviously I'd love to...

    Any news from Donana recently?

    I'm off to Coto Donana in a couple of weeks. Anybody been recently? I keep checking the weather hoping it will break before we go, but the sun keeps shining and the temperatures seem quite hot still. How's the marsh looking, especially at el Rocio? Is it flooded? Are there many wildfowl or...
