Birds and other wildlife apart, the resort settlement of
MATALASCANAS
on the coastal edge of Coto de Donana National Park is unlikely to excite; with its large hotel complexes and a concrete shopping centre, it would be difficult to imagine a more complete lack of character. In summer, too, the few
hostal rooms
are generally booked solid and, unless you plan in advance, you'll probably end up camping - either unofficially at the resort itself, or at the vast
Camping Rocio Playa
(tel 959 430 238; open all year), 1.5km down the road towards Huelva. This site is a little inconvenient without your own transport if you're planning to take regular trips into the Donana, but if you just want a
beach
, it's not a bad option. Playa Donana and its continuation Playa Mazagon (with another campsite,
Donana Playa
; tel 959 536 281; open all year) are fine strands stretching the whole distance to Huelva, and with hardly another foreign tourist in sight. This route is covered by three daily buses in both directions. Other useful information
