The city of Huelva is an important fishing port, and is the capital of the province. Nearby are numerous reminders of Christopher Columbus, who spent much time here before setting sail for America.
Huelva is part of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) that forms the Andalucian Atlantic shore in the provinces of Cadiz and Huelva. Its most important tourist centres are Barbate, Algeciras, Tarifa, Conil de la Frontera, Chiclana de la Frontera, Cadiz, El Puerto de Santa Maria, Rota, Chipiona, Sanlucar de Barrameda, Torrre de Higuera, Mazagon, Punta Unbria, El Rompido, Cantilla and Isla. Huelva is situated 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. |
