Huelva is an Andalusian province and city in the most southwesterly point of Spain, bordering Portugal’s Algarve to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the south, the province of Badajoz to the north and the province of Seville to the east. Despite its growing popularity as a tourist destination, it remains Spain’s most rural region, home to the country’s most important, and indeed fragile, nature reserve – the Donana National Park; which shelters a wide range of rare and endangered species, such as the Iberian lynx, the Egyptian mongoose, wild boar, red deer and the magnificent imperial eagle.
The beaches of the province are among the most beautiful in Spain; an alluring concoction of clean Atlantic waters, unspoilt sands and dunes and excellent weather for much of the year. Although not as clement as Spain’s Mediterranean coastline – another reason for the area’s untouched splendour – the Huelva coastline has plenty of excellent bays and coves, perfect for sunbathing and watersports. Improved road and air access has seen the region develop its tourist infrastructure in recent years, although the Andalusian government has been keen to learn from its mistakes on the Costa del Sol. As a result, hotel’s and resorts along the Huelva coastline are generally larger, more upmarket establishments, designed to enhance, rather than detract from, the region’s natural beauty.
The city of Huelva – the province’s capital – is a small, pleasant, maritime conurbation of approximately 145,000 inhabitants. Its relative isolation, and close proximity to Portugal, gives it a different feel to many similar-sized cities in southern Spain, yet it still retains an unmistakable Andalusian atmosphere, particularly evident in its architecture and daily way of life.
Some of the most popular attractions in the city include the Columbus trail; a series of sights and locations that Christopher Columbus frequented while seeking funds and men for his mission to ‘The New World’. There are also numerous statues, churches, convents and parks in the city, while the pavement culture is as good as any in Spain.
