Perhaps Huelva is not the most celebrated landmark in the region compared to other provincial capitals .At some point, it does create the feeling that you are in the England of the Victorian era - all because the British company Rio Tinto actively developed the mining industry here in the 19th century and, as a consequence, actively built up the area according to the then prevailing England architectural style .However, even centuries later Huelva did not lose its unique charm along with narrow streets, palm areas, historical monuments and, as expected, an incredible range of seafood in the menu of bars and restaurants .

Beaches of Huelva
The coast of the province of Huelva is one of the most "unspoiled" areas in all of Spain with clean wild and almost deserted beaches. In addition, proximity to the Spanish-Portuguese border allows tourists to easily travel and travel around the south of Portugal. For example, one of the most picturesque rocky coasts with golden sandy beaches of the Algarve region.
Kitchen and restaurants
In addition to gazpacho, habas enzapatás (beans with garlic, lemon and mint), pimentá (tomatoes and peppers on the grill) and puchero (boiled meat with separately cooked vegetables) are traditional Huelva dishes.
It is logical that seafood is given the main role in the kitchen. Fresh anchovies, mackerel, sardines, tuna - stewed or boiled, with pepper, rice or potatoes - "must be" on the Huelva table.
Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing Huelva
The heart of the city is on its central square, Plaza de las Monjas. The center itself is extremely compact, and it can easily be explored on foot. To look at the main attraction of Huelva - the church of Sanctuario de Nuestra Señora de la Cinta, where according to the tradition they prayed for Columbus before his departure to the New World, - it is necessary to overcome the distance of 3 km outside the city. In the same city it is worth seeing the Merced Cathedral with its Baroque façade and the oldest church in Huelva, San Pedro.
In Huelva there are two cinemas: "Sinebox" in Centro Comercial Aqualón Puerto on Glorieta-North street and "Multisines" on Autovía Los Emires street. The only theater is the Gran Teatro - located on Vázquez López street.
As an alternative to cinema entertainment, you can walk through the parks, which here, despite the small area of Huelva, more than enough. For example, in the park Parque Moret with a magnificent view of the delta of the Odiel River, a wide strip of forest and fruit trees. Or visit the Parque Alonso Sanchez in the heart of the city, located on three hills, with a panoramic view of Huelva and its surroundings. And the park Jardines de Muelle is just like a huge garden with tropical trees and shrubs.
