Which National Park is older, Sierra Nevada National Park or Doñana National Park?
Doñana National Park Doñana National Park is a natural reserve in Andalusia, southern Spain, in the provinces of Huelva (most of its territory) and Seville. It covers 543 km² , of which 135 km² are a protected area. The park is an area of marshes, shallow streams, and sand dunes in Las Marismas, the delta where the Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It was established as a nature reserve in 1969 when the World Wildlife Fund joined with the Spanish government and purchased a section of marshes to protect it. The eco-system has been under constant threat by the draining of the marshes, the use of river water to boost agricultural production by irrigating land along the coast, water pollution by upriver mining, and the expansion of tourist facilities. It is named after wife of the seventh Duke of Medina-Sidonia.
