Huelva
The province of Huelva is situated in the south-west corner of Spain, with Portugal to the west, Seville and Cadiz to the east, Extremadura to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. It´s a city not very popular for tourists but maybe this is the special charm. Huelva City is also where Christopher Columbus organised and set sail on his trip to the New World.Today Huelva is a large, sprawling and industrialised city with a population of 141,000.They have a good and mainly cheap public bus system and its just half an hour to the beautiful beaches of Punta Umbria. A drive with the bus in the city and into the smaller ones around is between 0,60€ and 2,50€. Much of Huelva’s cuisine incorporates fresh fish and seafood, which can be found in the local city markets.Huelva has a typical Mediterranean climate, with extremely mild winters and long, hot summer days.
