Spain and Portugal for Visitors

I have absolutely no doubt about the expertise of John Butler, the writer and guide whose site this is, but I must point out that Doñana National Park is not open to this kind of tour. The surrounding natural park, however, is, and good birding is more or less guaranteed.
