On the coast of Huelva, interesting formations are alternated with marshlands and wetlands of all kinds. The marshlands formed at the mouths of the rivers present different characteristics but are all landscapes of wide open spaces with great wealth of plant life thanks to the existence of water, light, and nutrients in optimal quantities. This means that the marshlands are able to support large bird populations; indeed, these wet areas are the most important habitat for European and African migrating birds.
