Huelvas History
Statue of Colombus

• Its situation on the Atlantic coast, its mild
  climate (relatively humid), its unique rich
  mining deposits and its advantages for settlers
  all explain why, centuries ago, Huelva attracted
  a considerable wave of migrants, whose traces
  still remain to this day.

• In the city, and above all in the province, one
  is struck by the legacy of the ancient peoples of
  the eastern Mediterranean - the Phoenicians and
  the Tartessians - whose royalty settled here.

• At later dates Roman, Visigoth and Arab royals
  came to stay. The presence of the last of these
  remains in the form of many monuments.

• Finally, Huelva has a lot to do with the
  discovery of America. The voyage that was to
  change the course of history originated in La
  Rábida and set sail from Palos de la Frontera.
