Huelva-Seville

These are the two provinces in the west of Andalusia. Seville is the capital of the región with a multitude of interesting sights and attractions where as Huelva is a hidden gem on the Atlantic Coast

As the capital of Andalusia , Seville is a dynamic lively city where you can really sense and observe the true character of the Andalusian people. Proud and  passionate, the locals  are full of  energy especially during the internationally-famous April Fair and in the remarkable Holy Week processions at Easter. In contrast, Huelva has always had a more relaxed atmosphere with miles of golden beaches and a world- famous national park called Doñana.  Additionally, Huelva has a very interesting history including the actual place where Columbus left to discover America ( you can walk around life-size replicas of the 3 ships ) , a stunning centre of pilgramage in El Rocio, plus a fascinating British Legacy reflected in the buildings and even the language. Its the ideal combination for a short introductory trip to the South of Spain, and if you like your food and wine you may not even want to return !
