A wide beach with shallow golden sand, located in a large bay. Considered one of the best for family holidays due to its gentle water entry and lack of strong winds. Surrounded by low hills with sparse vegetation.
Regularly listed among Spain’s most beautiful beaches. Known for its crystal-clear water and pebbles instead of sand. Access requires a descent along a steep path (about 15–20 minutes), which keeps the beach relatively uncrowded. The name is linked to legends of sailors' bodies washing ashore after shipwrecks.

Exploring Doñana and the Costa de la Luz Coast
This day is dedicated to discovering the region’s natural wonders: Doñana National Park and the Atlantic coast.
Spend the morning on a guided tour of Doñana National Park. These are often done in specialized off-road vehicles that traverse the park’s varied ecosystems — marshes, dunes, and pine forests — areas usually inaccessible to independent travelers. This is the best way to see the park’s unique flora and fauna, including the elusive Iberian lynx (if you’re lucky) and many bird species.
In the afternoon, head to the coast and the seaside town of Matalascañas. Relax or take a walk along the vast Matalascañas Beach and see its curious ruined tower, Tapón De Matalascañas. In the evening, return to El Rocío for your overnight stay.

The ruins of a 16th-century watchtower located directly on Matalascañas Beach. The tower was built to protect the coast from pirates but was eventually destroyed by an earthquake and the advancing sea. Its remains, often partially submerged at high tide, have become a recognizable symbol of the beach and a popular photography spot.
Ending the Journey in the Heart of Andalusia: Seville
Today your journey through southern Spain comes to an end. In the morning, leave the unique region of El Rocío and head northeast to the capital of Andalusia — Seville.
