Lying in the extreme south west of Spain, Huelva forms part of Andalusia, and is bordered on the north by the province of Badajoz, on the south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by Seville and by Portugal on the west.
From the Sierra Morena small river tributaries flow down into the Guadiana or the Guadalquivir, the two major rivers which frame the province of Huelva. Also there, in the Sierra de Aracena, the rivers Tinto and Odiel have their sources, very much a part of Huelva and of deep historical and social significance for the city.

The economic changes and the different cultures that have established themselves in this province have led to the evolution of a very rich and profuse gastronomy, diversity being the predominant note, since each region, each town, has its own specialities. Although it is generally agreed that hams and seafood are the central figures in the Huelvan kitchen.

Huelva is also beauty, light, inspiration and poetry in a pure state, that invites the traveller to enjoy in his own way, following his itinery and his instincts, a province that resumes and concentrates the qualities of all Andalusia, and which can boast a great diversity of scenery.
