Sorry to readers of last week’s Photos of the Week newsletter for the broken link—you can see those photos here. 

Before horses came to the Americas, they roamed freely across what is now Doñana National Park in southern Spain. Every June for the last 500 years, as many as a thousand horses gallop across the vast marshland as part of La Saca de las Yeguas, the Roundup of the Mares, in a sacred event that blends centuries-old tradition with modern conservation.

Photographer Manuel Naranjo Martell’s breathtaking work celebrates the wild horses in their natural habitat—as seen above—and honors the yegüerizos whose deft horsemanship preceded the cowboys of North America.

Camera technology is improving at seemingly lightning speed. National Geographic’s in-house photo engineers spent four months testing 26 cameras, considering ease of use, size, shutter speed, and video features. They found the nine best digital cameras for every kind of traveler, from beginners who want to memorialize family vacations to pros looking to elevate their next travel project.
