Huelva Province

The little known Andalucían province of Huelva covers a range environments from the low mountains of the Sierra Morena in the north to the surreal mining area of Minas de Río Tinto and the agricultural planes of the centre and the coastal resorts in the south. Tucked into the bottom left hand corner of Spain, Huelva shares a border with Portugal, the legacy of which can be seen in the numerous castle ruins in the villages to the north.

The provincial capital of Huelva is an unpretentious, modest town with a thriving industrial trade and links with Columbus and the discovery of the Americas.
 
Huelva’s Costa de la Luz represents 150km of unspoilt coastline stretching from the border with Portugal, down to the mouth of the Guadalquivir River which flows from Seville. Development on this stretch of coast ranges from relatively low key to non-existent in the protected areas. The beaches are characterised by their gold sands, clean waters and the pine groves that back them. The Atlantic ocean on this stretch of coast is a shade cooler than the Mediterranean further east and is popular with windsurfers and other water sport enthusiasts.
 

The vast, uninhabited area of the Cota de Doñana Natural Park with its sand dunes and marshlands is a vitally important natural environment for a variety of wildlife species. Inland, the Condado area produces fantastic wines and a wealth of agricultural produces whilst the Mines of Río Tinto contain vestiges of British colonialism as well as unusual landscapes.

Further to the north are the beautiful, unspoilt and little visited mountain villages of the Sierra Morena, built in typical Andalucían style.

 
 
 
 
Sierra de Aracena
Covering the northern area of the Huelva province, the Sierra de Aracena are low, forested mountains scattered with traditional villages. Undiscovered by foreign visitors until recently, the area is becoming popular with those keen on rural tourism. The national park of Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche consists of beautiful, rugged and remote countryside teaming with wildlife, which make it excellent walking country. Aracena, with its famous castle and cave, is surrounded by numerous quaint and rustic white villages, unspoilt by the modern world.

Andevalo and the Parque Minero

Huelva City

A little visited provincial capital, the atmospheric streets of Huelva make a refreshing change from the modern seaside developments elsewhere along the coast in the province. Huelva y Lugares Columbinos contains the famous Palos de la Frontera from where Columbus set sail in 1492. On the coast south of Huelva city is the resort of Mazagón with a magnificent stretch of sandy beach.

Cota Doñaña (Natural Reserve)
The eastern corner of the Huelva province is largely uninhabited due to the Cota de Doñana Nature Reserve, home to a myriad of species of wildlife. Along with the pine forested Marismas, this area takes up 40km of unspoilt, undeveloped coastline stretching from Matalascañas down to the Guadalquivir river estuary. Popular in the summer and virtually deserted in the winter, this area of coastline deservedly attracts large numbers of tourists.
