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.
The location was great, in the main plaza. However, was quiet at night and the air conditioning was functioning well. The hotel interior and exterior design were typical Andalusian style which made for an authentic experience. We were given a room with a balcony overlooking the main square and it was wonderful to watch the horses pass by in the evening. Overall we really enjoyed it, the staff members were very friendly. We would consider staying there again next time.
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!
El Rocío is unique. On Saturday night it can get loud with all the revelry of the many brotherhoods there to pay respect to the patron, but Pepe and Antonio’s place is away from most of the action. I don’t know how they keep the rooms so clean with all dirt streets; no pavement anywhere.
Great birding in March.
Not like any other town in Spain; everyone decked out on horseback.
The setting next to the Donana National Parc with all its beaity is stunning. Amazing wetland which is an internationally important sanctuary for migrating birds (unfortunately threatened by strawberry farms drawing huge amounts of water away from it).
Hotel has a nice old fashioned vibe and a cute bird theme throughout. Nice courtyard to relax.
Excellent dinner.
Great location, walking distance from the doñana tours. Super view from our terrace with an amazing sunset view of Doñana National Park. The woman in the reception was very helpful and friendly during our stay. Rooms were clean and cozy. Just exactly how expected in a town like El Rocío.
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
A unique situation, with very pleasant staff, and a lovely ambiance. Nice restaurant, with excellent and copious food. El Rocio is a very nice surprise, quite different but very interesting, the lake adds very much to the place.
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.
Good breakfast. Staff very friendly. The whole property is really pretty and very well kept. Excellent location for El Rocio. Easy to drive to the National Park and the beach. Bathroom was big, lots of space.
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
The reception staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The position in the centre of El Rocio was perfect. The free coffee in the afternoon after an excursion was a welcome touch.
Great communication. Location and quality of hotel, good, for the price. Staff were welcoming, friendly, and happy to help. The hotel was kept very clean.
