Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche
The Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche are located in the westernmost part of the Sierra Morena mountain range, in the north of the province of Huelva. In the Middle Ages, this region was the setting for many frontier battles with neighbouring Portugal. The historical legacy of those armed conflicts has been preserved in the form of numerous fortresses which comprise the so-called “Banda Gallega” (Galician Strip).

Doñana - Marismas del Odiel
Doñana is a vast extension of protected land that holds biological treasures of internationally recognised importance. A National Park, Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, this territory is comprised of various different ecosystems, including the region of the Guadalquivir River salt marshes. Predominantly located in the province of Huelva, the natural enclave of Doñana is part of a region of immense cultural significance, whose principal claim to fame is the annual religious pilgrimage to the village of El Rocío.

Golf
Home of the "First Golf", a lot of time has passed by since the British miners that worked in the Rio Tinto mines founded in Huelva the pioneer golf course in all of the Peninsula. More than a century later the province has turned into a paradise for the lovers of this sport. Added up to the seven magnificent golf courses are excellent infrastructure and a climate that garantuees light and nice temperatures throughout the year.

Guide of the Province
As much light or as little as any other place at these altitudes, but different, ours. Accompany us to the look-out posts where "Huelva, the Light" becomes a reality. In the Sierra, at a thousand metres altitude, from the Cerro de San Cristobal and in any sunset or sunrise, the low light stretches the shadow of the smallest relief, elevating the tops to the highest mountains, bringing closer the sea. A sea with two horizons, strange privilige to see how the sun sets twice every evening, setting nearby behind the Flecha del Rompido, and in the Atlantic, far away and ordinary..

Columbian Sites
The time was the morning of the third of August 1492 and the place the confluence of the Tinto and Odiel Rivers, where, from the beginning of time, their waters have flowed together before emptying into the vast Atlantic Ocean; the event, three vessels setting sail toward an uncertain destination, and equally certain destiny. The expert seamanship of a handful of men, the blessings of the monks at La Rábida Monastery and a commision from the Catholic Monarchs guided Admiral Christopher Columbus in his grand feat - the crossing of the oean to a new continent. This exceptional spot in southern Spain, meeting point for Tartessians, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs, has stood by its Colombian ambition and tradition ever since.

Beaches of Huelva
From the mouth of the Guadiana to the one from the Guadalquivir the Atlantic Coast of Huelva, in Andalusia, offers 120 kms of coastline, 80 kms of them being wide beaches with white sand and bordered by green pine forests. Perfectly indicated, each one of them is accessed from the highway Sevilla-Huelva-Ayamonte-Portugal (E-1/A-49), that like a comb links the coast with the interior, a road network design that allows to keep, like a green lung for our beaches, our natural spaces protected by separating the tourist centers.

Trails of the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche
The north of the province of Huelva, at the foor of the Sierra Norena, holds a region that complies with all the requirements to be the priviliged destination of walkers and travellers: The Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche. Its over 600 kilometres of network of natural trails, paths and old livestock trails, allow to discover this immense territory that, over the years, has managed to keep a traditional life, in full harmony with nature.

Río Tinto Mines
The Rio Tinto area has been associated with mining since time immemorial. The tortured landscape is the result of human sweat and labour. Over thousands of years, generation of miners have passed on the hoe, the pick, the steam engine and the modern trench hoe, impassively forging a landscape that might well belong to another planet.
