Huelva Province Travel Guide

Andalusia

Incredible sunsets on idyllic sandy beaches of the Costa de la Luz, long rides on horseback through the Doñana Natural Park and an almost unequalled cuisine are all waiting for you in Huelva.

Huelva is one of the most beautiful provinces in Spain, thanks to its magnificent natural landscapes and miles and miles of fine sandy beaches. Though less frequented than the coast, the province's capital holds interesting treasures and excellent options for dining. The stunning coast is perfect for a range of activities.

From the splendid Isla Cristina beach, with all the facilities needed for enjoying a family holiday deal to Huelva, to the wetlands of the Doñana National Park, which extend for more than 70 miles along Huelva's coastline in a fantastic display of golden dunes and lush vegetation.

Although the capital is often not the main reason for looking for cheap holidays to Huelva, the city holds some rather interesting monuments, such as the colonial-style La Merced cathedral or Casa Colon, built at the end of the 19th century. If you decide to venture into the province's interior, you'll find the incredible landscapes of the Riotinto Mines, the spectacular caves of the Sierra de Aracena, the never-ending meadows where the Jabugo pigs graze and pretty villages like Niebla and Almonte.

The marvellous natural scenery of Huelva is ideal for a range of sports, from hiking or cycling through its parks and mountains, to fishing or water activities along its coastline. Strong winds on the beaches of Mazagón and Punta Umbria will let you show off your skills on a surf board. If you're just starting off, go for a beach with quieter waters like Isla Canela where many also kitesurf.

The province of Huelva doesn't (as yet) have an airport, but San Pablo airport in Seville is only 65 miles away and Faro airport in Portugal is 71 miles away. If you're on holiday in Seville, it will be easy to choose one of the many holiday deals to Huelva and take a day trip.

Sun, beaches, nature and delicious food are only a few of the reasons to take a holiday in Huelva. Who needs more?
