HUELVA

Accomodation Craftmanship Sports Natural areas Towns Leisure Services Travel

The province of HUELVA, on the Atlantic Ocean, is on the border with Portugal, separated by the Guadiana river (which is now crossed by a bridge providing easy access by road). It covers nearly 10.000 km² and is divided into four perfectly delimited regions: mountainous, mining, agricultural and coastal.

The majority of Huelva's splendor is spread throughout the province: La Rábida was the point of departure for Columbus' voyage to discover America (visiting the interesting Columbian places is highly recomended). The Condado area delights it's visitors with wines and beautiful towns. The mountain range of Aracena with the Gruta de las Maravillas (Caves of Wonder), Alájar and Jabugo, which has become world famous for its jam. The Cortegana range has a castle and small towns (Funenteheridos, Galaroza, Almonaster la Real...). It is a land of chestnut trees, hills, perennial vegetation, and mountain pastures. The mining region is home to the towns of Tharsis, Río Tinto and Nerva. The agricultural region includes the towns of Bollullos del Condado, La Palma del Condado, and Almonte the most universal town in the area owing to a yearly pilgrimage to a small village called El Rocío.

There are rich marshes near the mouths of the Odiel and Tinto rivers. The Coto de Doñana is near the seaside beachscapes which start at Matalascañas and extend to Ayamonte (where there is a national Parador, a lodging facility) after passing through Mazagón (which also has a Parador), Punta Umbría, and Isla Cristina. The area has a well deserved name which says it all: The Coast of Light.

It's folkloric soul is present in it's fandangos from famous authors such as Alonso, Calañas, El Cerro, Almonaster, Santa Bárbara, and Encinasola, among others.

Huelva's gastronomy offer a unique array of shrimp and other crustaceans from its seas.
