Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Spain, particularly in regions with warm and humid climates like Doñana National Park in Andalusia. The presence of stagnant water bodies, such as marshes and ponds, provide ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects.

In addition to being annoying, mosquitoes in Spain can also pose a health risk due to the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. Some of the most common diseases spread by mosquitoes in Spain include West Nile virus, Dengue fever, and Chikungunya.

Doñana National Park, with its biodiversity and abundance of wildlife, attracts a large number of tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. However, visitors should be aware of the mosquito situation in the area and take necessary precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites and potential diseases.
