Hotels Huelva Spain Cheap Huelva Hotels Guide

Back in 1492, this was the port from which Columbus set off from and subsequently discovered the Americas. Today, more and more people are realising Huelva itself is also a place worth of some exploration! Straddled between the estuaries of the Odiel and Tinto rivers, it's the Costa de la Luz's last major city before Portugal. Despite the closeness to the border, this is a city that remains Andalusian through and through. It prides itself on an array of impressive buildings and attractions that only add to its desirability on one of Spain's most heralded coastlines. These include the 17th-century Merced Cathedral; the Monastery of Santa Clara; and the beautiful city hub, Las Monjas Square. It's also well known for its open-air Provincial Museum, which features works by many of Spain's premier contemporary sculptors. Another piece of history - Recreativo de Huelva (the oldest football team in Spain, founded in 1889) play here, at the Neuvo Colombino Stadium. That's Colombino after Christopher Columbus by the way, and if you want to find out more about the heritage of the explorer's famous expeditions you can pay a visit to his old house (Casa Colon), or the very docks from which he set sail. Down by the coast is also where you'll find a succession of charming seafood restaurants that accommodate for a great view of the Atlantic, especially just as the sun sets over its waters.
