The walk is particularly memorable early on an autumn day when the low-lying flora of the Marismas is taking on its autumnal colours and Vejer hovers above the early morning mist. Be aware that parts of the path can be waterlogged after heavy rain.

The walk begins in the car parking area between Las Marismas de Barbate and the A314. There’s a waste treatment plant to one side so you’ll be keen to get moving as quickly as possible. From the car park go through a small black gate to one side of a larger green one, next to a signboard Sendero Marismas de Barbate. Bearing right and adopting a southerly course you’ll immediately begin to spot all kinds of wading birds out in the marshes.

Reaching a fork next to a sign Parque Natural turn left along a track which cuts due east across the marshes for a little over 700m then, just before it reaches the Río Barbate, angles right and runs on close to the looping course of the river. From here there are fine views back across the floodplain to Vejer.
