The place is so different with a wild west sand avenues, next to bird filled marsh. The views across are spectacular, particularly with sunrise and sunset. It is so romantic to walk along the promenade, and then sit and listen to the sound of the marsh. The area has a magical feel that is only felt by visiting. I have been going for over 20 years on and off, although it has expanded, and changed, the local people are still friendly.
There are a range of restaurants, although you do have to look around if you are vegetarian or vegan, but there are 1 or 2 that do serve that kind of food. Two in particular stood out, Restaurante Casa Marcelo, and the helpful and excellent Jose. Food was amazing, unfortunately we only found it the day before we were leaving. If you are into meal, highly recommended. An excellent vegetatian restaurant, highly recommended La Canaliega.

What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand.
What a unique place. No paved roads ( by design ) all sand. Horses, carts and donkeys. Fascinating and unique spot next to a National park. Weekends VERY busy and lively. Might be boring after a few minutes during the week. A town of less than two thousand people that can swell to a million during pilgrimages.
It’s like a carnival- never seen anything like it. Easy to walk around town.

It's the most unusual town I've seen where the "roads" are sandy as horses seem to be the preferred mode of transport. It's got the Doñana National Park tours available within walking distance of the centre (private and group tours) and a lovely square in front of the church overlooking a lake which fills with water in winter. Bird watching is a "must".

El Rocio, a surreal Andalusian town, left me awestruck. The tranquil marshlands, wild horses, sandy streats and striking buldings create an otherworldly atmosphere. It's a serene haven amidst the vibrant region of Andalusia, where nature reigns and surprises around every corner.

We chose El Rocio for an overnight stay due to a trip between Tavira, Portugal and Málaga, Spain. We were very surprised to learn El Rocio was a horseback-riding hub and that its dusty streets and Western-themed houses seemed to come straight out of a Hollywood Western! El Rocio is a very unique town!

Wonderful surprise of a town.
Wonderful surprise of a town. Totally dedicated to horses and donkeys. All roads and lanes are sand (for horse feet) and nearly every building has wooden or metal railing to tie up your horse! Birdwatching paradise. Would be 5 out of 5 if the local council graded the roads to get rid of the bad bumps and holes. Not good.
We loved the welcome by Mari Angeles (I think). Despite our limited language skills (hers and ours) we received a very warm welcome and Mari made sure we understood. Mari also looked out for us during the rest of our stay. Hotel facilities were limited but very clean and comfortable. We booked a superior room which was spacious, clean and peaceful and the big bed was very comfortable. A beautiful building in a very central location. Would very much recommend.
The hotel staff saved our trip after our local guided tour guide canceled after we had arrived; the front desk called and made arrangements for us to join another tour company for the next morning. Knowing that, we were able to relax and enjoy walking around the hotel, listening to the bird songs and later had a wonderful dinner at La Boca, the hotel’s restaurant. The room we had was beautiful and so comfortable, making the whole experience enjoyable.
My rating and feedback is based on the fact that we were upgraded to Donana 51’s sister hotel just across the street. The staff were very welcoming and the bedroom was comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed having a hot drink on our arrival and we also thought the breakfast was very good. El Roció is a very interesting town to walk around and unlike any other we have visited in Andalucía.
The property is very authentic and clean. Abraham and his family is so welcoming and helpful with organizing everything. If you want to organize horse back riding etc, Abraham will make a phone call and everything is all set. Parking is so easy and we love El Rocío! The hotel is located in a very nice quiet area near everything. We would definitely go back there again. Thank you!
One of the best places to stay if visiting El Rocio. The hotel is at the entrance of the town. Except for the pilgrimage in June there is not much going on in El Rocio and thus this hotel, but it is a good place to stay close to the few restaurants that are in town.
The apartment is in a very large building near restaurants and the sites of El Rocío. It's clean, spacious air conditioned and fully equipped for cooking a small meal. The bed is very comfortable and the room is bright. Lola gave us great tips for the area
The location if fantastic, in the middle of El Rocio. The hotel is very nice, all very new, really clean room, nice bathroom and most important very comfortable bed.
We did not use the breakfast so cannot tell how that is.
It was a stunning building converted to a hotel. The room was well appointed, and warm. Continental breakfast was excellent. I was surprised as I was looking for a cheap hotel, and was very impressed by the value.
the staff was great, allowing me to leave my bike inside, and opening up the breakfast buffet extra early for me. the hotel is centrally located in el rocio with easy acess to the lake, church and restaurants
Owners very friendly and welcoming. Well appointed small apartment with sun terrace.
Well positioned to explore the nature reserve and coast. It was the best place we stayed in Spain.
Awesome location and, as requested, a room overlooking the lagoon with its flamingoes and ibises. Classic Spanish hotel facilities. Reception open to leave luggage.
They had free coffee and free tea available all day long. The room and the hotel in general were very clean. Room was comfortable although lacked natural light.
