La Reserva Seville

This 'multi theme park', located 50 km north-west of Seville on the A476 near Castillo de la Guardas, combines a Wild-West section, safari park, go-karting and boating. You can also stay here, either in the Wild West hotel, or in cabaņas located around the park.

The main attraction is the animals - more than 1000, in 100 species, including tigers, zebra, elephants, rhino and bears. The animals are allowed to roam free around the park, which is located in a former mine, offering a dramatic lunar landscape. To see them, you can either drive along the 15km trail around the park in your own vehicle or take the train. You can stop at a lake with canoeing and pedal boats. Other attractions include swimming pools, performing sealions, birds of prey and a petting area where children can feed the animals. Older children will love the paintballing and karting track.

The Wild West section, which has free entry, has the usual saloon bar featuring cowboys and shows with can-can girls. Shop, lake-side restaurant and cafeteria among the trees.

Open daily 10.30am-5.30pm.

Entry is 20 euros for adults, 15 euros for children aged 3-12, with an additional fee for 5 euros for the train ride.
