This monastery for sure deserves a visit for two main reasons: - History: the nice audioguide starts with: this door was crossed by Cristopher Colombus and his son, Diego, when they came from Portugal... - Art: although quite restored and far from the original, it has very nice mudejar details, particularly a cloister

Had heard so much about El Rocío over the years, and eventually managed to get here, despite it being a bit of a trek from wherever you are, but worth it to combine with the Parque National de Doñana. Unfortunately rather geared up for tourists , and coach loads come daily. Restaurants and hotels similarly so, and the prices reflect this. The location though is incomparable. The sandy streets, and the hitching posts outside the buildings, are set up for the horses and carriages that are an integral part of this town. The church is worth a visit, with its unbelievably ornate gilded reredos. Not sure where the famous statue of the Virgin Mary had gone, as you can see the space where she should be.....haven’t yet managed to find out where to get this information! But simply spectacular were the marismas overlooked by the town. Don’t miss taking the paths along the side of these... preferably not (like us) leaving your binoculars in the car! These were just teeming with wildlife, various species of ducks, wading birds, and two large flocks of flamingoes who weren’t at all put off by the proximity of humans.

In the mining park of Riotinto you can do a different railway journey, penetrate into a mine, visit a real victorian house and know about the history of a totally transformed mining bowl. Everything at hand at the minig park of Riotinto.

Travel on a train and go back in time across a landscape that's more similar to mars than earth, a bygone era of British rule and industrial revolution, we stayed nearby at the Victorian House Rio Tinto which is only 10 minutes walk from the museum overall a very interesting and entertained day out. Highly recommended.

This restored dock is just amazing. Nothing much there but a walk along the lower (or if brave the upper) deck and the views are incredible. The history of the site is interesting too

We stayed in Punta Umbria with the specific intention of exploring Las Marismas de Odiel to view the birds. Like many other EU funded wildlife centres we have seen in Spain and Portugal, the one in Las Marismas, a mammouth structure that must have cost a fortune, was staffed by one bored lady who was unable, or unwilling, to supply even a basic map of the Park or information sheet. No funds to kerp the buikding in a gokd state of repair or fund sufficient staff. Her only utterence, goid job I have some Spanish, was to say that the "Hides" are a kilometre up the road. Most unfriendly and extremely unhelpful. So following our noses we found the birds and the hides and there are lots of them...birds not Hides. Saw the Spoobills and around 20 other different species. Not hard as they are all around you. After the area where the Hides are situated, either side of the only road, the birds became scarce. The odd Heron, Egret etc in the marshland. We drove virtually to the end of the road, stopped about 2kms short of the lighthouse by a barrier across the road, and did not see many birds at all. The most birds that we saw was immediately at the entrance to Las Marismas. As soon as you turn off the motorway there is a pull-in on your right by the salt pans. Park there are walk along the cycle track as far as you like. Flocks of Flamingoes, hundred plus Black Backed Stilts, Redshanks, Great Egrets etc etc. Impressive. Waders as far as the eye can see. A great walk in the winter sun. The Spoonbill colony is on your left, past the Hides, and there were thirty plus birds in the flock along with a large number of Egrets. If you are into birds/wildlife there is a free guide for Birds in the province of Huelva, available from the Tourist Offices. "Rutas para la observacion de Aves en la Provincia de Huelva". In Spanish and English and it identifies the areas in the province where you can see the birds and suggests 8 walks from 2kms in duration to one of 16kms. Strange they did not have copies in the Visitors Centre. We visited Las Marismas 4 times. Low tide when the mud is exposed is best. Recommended.

If you don't mind walking for 15 minutes for a wooden walkway through a Natural Park, you'll enjoy a beautiful beach far from any building. It used to be a paradise, but it suffered a terrific forest fire 2 years ago and it's slowly recovering. However, it's worth a visit anyway.

Turn left from Barceló Mar and start walking. Well signposted turn offs will take you through the trees to the beach. Beautiful to stop and look at trees and birds and any other wildlife you are fortunate enough to spot! Walk down beside the road as far as you can then get on to the beach. You can walk to the next town if you’re up to it! We did, tiring but worth the experience.
