Nature
Impressive natural beauty: from the mobile dunes, the pine forests, the cliffs and marshes, to the immense beaches and the Doñana National Park. Very diverse.
Safety
Very safe region, with a relaxed and calm atmosphere. Basic precautions should be taken in busy areas, just like anywhere else.

Bus network that connects the main towns. The train reaches Cádiz and Huelva, but to explore the towns and coves, the car is more practical.
