The Sierra Nevada may still have snow in March, if you're into skiing that'd be a good option. Doñana is good if you're looking for more off the beaten path wildlife focused trip, El Rocío is a good base, but it will be dead in March probably. Near Barcelona the only National Park is Aigüestortes, deep in the Pyrenees Mountains and will most certainly be snowed-in during March.
Edit to add:
North of Barcelona is the Camino de Ronda, a historic coastal footpath that snakes along the Costa Brava. It connect the various fishing villages along the coast, very spectacular, but in March could be quite cold and windy - http://www.camideronda.com/en/introduction.html
Closer to Barcelona is Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, it's a regional park of Catalonia, though I have not been myself I've heard there is some good hiking there - https://awomanafoot.com/blog/hiking-solo-park-sant-llorenc-obac-catalonia-spain

Will you have a car?
Flamingo central is Fuente de Piedra lagoon. It's quite close to the El Torcal mountains mentioned by Tinac above. Obviously time of the year matters but, I'm guessing, March/April is breeding season (?). Doñana also has flamingos in season, too.
