Punta Umbria is another resort town and large beach on the River Odiel. To the west of the town there are walks through the pine forrests. Lots of different beach bars to choose from. As the sun sets the students organize beach football or voleyball. The town comes alive at night.

Punta Umbria lies on the Coast a few kilometres from the Portuguese border, but aside from its scenic section of the Sierra Morena to the north and a chain of fine beaches to the west of the provincial capital it's a pretty dull part of Andalucía, laced with large areas of swamp - the marismas - and notorious for mosquitoes. This distinctive habitat is, however, particularly suited to a great variety of wildlife, especially birds, and over 60,000 acres of the delta of the Río Guadalquivir (the largest roadless area in western Europe) have been fenced off to form the Coto de Doñana National Park . Here, amid sand dunes, pine woods, marshes and freshwater lagoons, live scores of flamingos, along with rare birds of prey, 25 pairs of lynx, mongooses and a startling variety of migratory birds.
