What to see in Huelva:
Visitors to Huelva, especially in spring and summer,
are struck by the clear light as they contemplate the
Baroque cathedral built by the Duke of Medina Sidonia
and the San Francisco and Concepción churches.
Before pausing in the monumental San Pedro Square go
up to the top of the Conquero then go down to the Paseo
de los Pinzones that ends in the Punta de Sebo, erected
in honour of Columbus.
The province of Huelva is rich in architectural gems,
both on high ground, where there is a line of defensive
castles, the majority built in the thirteenth century
due to lack of trust in the kingdom of Portugal, and
in the south, running from El Condado to the “Castilla
beach” on the Atlantic. Here one can also admire
the Niebla ramparts and the Guzmanes Castle. For those
who prefer monasteries, in the Palos area lies La Rábida,
the small Franciscan monastery closely linked to Christopher
Columbus and the journey that began the discovery of
America. Near the city, three villages evoking days
gone by can be found: San Juan del Puerto, Gibraleón
and Trigueros. In the municipal area of Trigueros lies
the El Soto dolmen. On both sides of the river estuary
are the two tourist areas of the province, Mazagón
and Punta Umbría, which are outstanding for their
bright beaches. A little further away you can find Ajarque
and Cartaya, with their extensive areas of pine trees
that meet the sea at a small fishing village, El Rompido.
Fishing is also the economic means of Isla Cristina,
not far from Ayamonte, which lies at the mouth of the
River Guardiana on the Portuguese border. Behind this
is the village of Lepe, famous for its figs and strawberries.
To the east of the province lies Moguer, with churches
such as Nuestra Señora de Granada, convents such
as Santa Clara and its Town Hall: all architectural
elements that will surprise visitors. The Sacro Art
Museum and the Juan Ramón Jiménez Museum,
in memory of the poet, both offer special interest.
Following the Seville road, the tourist arrives at El
Condado, famous for its wine. To the north the Sierra
de Aracena houses the Gruta de las Maravillas, a cave
with almost 1,500 metres of maze-like galleries. With
its cold dry air, this is also the area of the best
cured hams in the country, although the area is also
rich in churches, medieval mosques and monasteries.
