After the bull, the second most popular animal in Spain has to be the donkey. There are 140,000 of them hee-hawing in Spain. For an off-the-beaten-path experience, check out El Refugio del Burrito donkey sanctuary, where you can adopt and even meet some donkeys who have been rescued from hard times.

El Refugio del Burrito is a donkey sanctuary in Fuente De Piedra, 40 minutes from Málaga, Spain. This donkey rescue center is part of The Donkey Sanctuary, a UK-based charity that works worldwide to improve conditions for donkeys and mules.
