 Ayamonte. From its location on the mouth of the river Guadiana (River Ana, in Arab), several natural elements are derived: We mainly have the river mouth itself, which, appearing at the top of a hill runs down to the left bank of the river and spreads through it. On the Portuguese bank are the towns of Vila Real de Santo António and Castro Marim, the first of the two sharing the river mouth. Following an abundant forest mass containing mainly pines and eucalyptus, it runs into marshes which virtually surround the town and which were previously used by the townspeople in different ways. These marshes, called "zaperas", are very rich in biodiversity and there are some local species on the verge of extinction. These marshes form "caños", which are small streams that cross them and trace the scenery with unending sources of water. Finally, the beaches of Isla Canela and the Punta del Moral district, open beaches in the shape of a half moon, long and surrounded by marshes. From the top of the town, the view reaches the neighbouring country, to the town of Isla Cristina. |
Portuguese Algarve: The southernmost region in Portugal and one of the favourite European holiday destinations for the light of the round sun and excellent sandy beaches. It is also considered one of the best golf destinations in Europe. |
Huelva Capital: its most outstanding monuments and places include: Reina Victoria Working-class District , a series of English style architecture family buildings built in 1917; La Merced Cathedral , founded in 1605 and made a cathedral in 1953; La Concepción Church , built in the 16th century; San Marcos Castle , built in the 16th century and a magnificent example of Renaissance style; La Rábida Monastery, turned into a Franciscan convent in the early 15th century. |
Doñana Nature Park : in the southeast of Spain in the provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cadiz, Doñana Nature Park is one of the most singular, richest areas in Europe. Flatlands between the ancient terraces of the river Guadalquivir. Heritage of Mankind, Biosphere Reserve, Diploma of the Council of Europe for Management and Preservation, Doñana has been and is a place impossible to define. |
El Andévalo region in Huelva: in the centre of the province. Lovers of so-called gastronomic tourism will enjoy many of its villages, trying the products of Iberian pork and their dishes made with wild mushrooms and game. Special mention should be made of Tharsis and Minas de Rio tinto, which occupy the centre of the mining basin and in which you can go on a special railway trip, go into a mine, visit an authentic Victorian house and see the history of a region completely transformed by the mining activity in several museums and on guided tours. |
Sierra de Huelva mountain range : The western end of Sierra Morena is a gently sloping eroded plain broken by chalky hills, some with grottoes, including the Gruta de las Maravillas de Aracena, with galleries of over 1 km which can be visited. It runs through the scenery rich in ilex groves and in the dampest areas, cork oaks; in these meadows. From Hinojales to Cortegana the scenery changes appreciably; the greyish green colours of the meadows are replaced by the brilliant greens of the chestnut groves in the summer and spring, and the pinks and browns in autumn and winter. Something not to be missed. |
Seville Capital: The capital of Andalusia, this is one of the places in Spain most appreciated abroad. Although its Moslem architectural influence is the most striking, as it was occupied by the Moors for around 800 years, long before it had been a very important cultural centre. Tourists can enjoy visits to its monuments such as La Giralda bell tower and The Cathedral; its famous bridges such as the Puente del V Centenario and Puente de las Delicias; and even a pleasant stroll along the banks of the River Guadalquivir. |

| For the lovers of the gastronomy to emphasize like typical plate of Huelva “Broad beans with small cuttlefishes” , but this is not the last memory since there is plates like “Long-thin clams, prawns, small cuttlefishes, fried small fish, or Iberian cured ham” which will be able to taste in the Chiringuitos of the zone. |

| The port of Huelva holds a very prominent place in what is known as the “shellfish route”, and its fish market is stocked with the day’s catch of various kinds of prawn and bream, skate and sole. |
| These enable delicious dishes to be served up, particularly tollos con tomate (smooth-hound shark with tomato), sea bream cooked with onion, cuttlefish with beans, and skate in paprika sauce. |
| Spain’s finest cured mountain ham comes from the highlands in Huelva, and is protected by a ‘denomination of origin’. The region also has excellent minced-pork sausage and other sausage meats. |
| As regards desserts, the province’s fruit can be singled out: peaches from Nava, melons and watermelons from Cortegana, quince from Fuenteheridos and strawberries from Lepe; and for the seriously sweet-toothed, there are the special Easter cakes called hornazos, the tocinitos de cielo (made with syrup and egg yolks), and Moguer pies. |
