Nearly a century later, [[Alonso Pérez de Guzmán y Sotomayor, 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia]] and commander of the Spanish Armada, bought back part of the land. His wife, Ana de Silva y Mendoza, daughter of the Princess of Eboli, moved to a country retreat there called "Coto de Doña Ana" (Doña Ana Game Preserve), which was the origin of the current name "Doñana";<ref name="RileyRiley2005">{{cite book|author1=Laura Riley|author2=William Riley|title=Nature's Strongholds: The World's Great Wildlife Reserves|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_icMuBQhW4vgC|date=1 January 2005|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=0-691-12219-9|pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_icMuBQhW4vgC/page/n664 417]}}</ref> the house was renovated years later as a palace. Reference to the use of Coto Donana as a hunting lodge is made in the first verses of the ''La Fábula de Polifemo y Galatea'' (Fable of Polyphemus and Galatea), which the lyric poet [[Luis de Góngora]] dedicated to the Count of Niebla, and in which he requests that the nobles suspend their hunting exploits to hear his verses. In 1624, King [[Philip IV of Spain|Philip IV]] stayed at the estate for several days as a guest of the 9th Duke of Medina Sidonia, and joined in some large hunts. He brought with him a great variety of comestibles, which included such luxuries as snow from the mountains for the frequent banquets he held in honor of the duke. In 1797 [[Francisco Goya]] stayed in the palace as a guest of his patrons, the 15th Duke of Medina-Sidonia and his wife, the [[María Cayetana de Silva, 13th Duchess of Alba|13th Duchess of Alba]]. Here Goya created his ''Álbum A'', a collection of drawings, and apparently painted his famous portraits, ''La Maja Vestida'' ("The Clothed Maja") and ''La Maja Desnuda'' ("The Naked Maja"), rumored to portray the duchess.<ref name="RileyRiley2005" /><ref name="Lowe2000">{{cite book|author=Alfonso Lowe|title=The Companion Guide to the South of Spain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vy_v0vWgkzsC&pg=PA148|year=2000|publisher=Companion Guides|isbn=978-1-900639-33-0|page=148}}</ref>
