Huelva (pronounced: [ˈwelβa]) is a province of southern Spain, in the western part of the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is bordered by Portugal, the provinces of Badajoz, Seville, and Cádiz, and the Atlantic Ocean. Its capital is Huelva.
Its area is 10,148 km². Its population is 483,792 (2005), of whom about 30% live in the capital, and its population density is 47.67/km². It contains 79 municipalities.
The economy is based on agriculture and mining. The famous Rio Tinto mines have been worked since before 1000 BC, and were the major source of copper for the Roman Empire. As an indication of the scope of ancient mining, sixteen million tons of Roman slag have been identified at the Roman mines. British companies resumed large-scale mining in 1873; the district is the namesake of the Rio Tinto Group.
The province contains Palos de la Frontera, and Moguer, where Christopher Columbus sailed out of on his first voyage in 1492, and shares the Parque Nacional de Doñana.
Huelva (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈwelβa]) is a city in southwestern Spain, the capital of the province of Huelva in the autonomous region of Andalusia. It is located along the Gulf of Cádiz coast, at the confluence of the Odiel and Tinto rivers. The city has been inhabited since 3000 BC. According to the 2010 census, the city had a population of 149,410. Huelva is home to Recreativo de Huelva, the oldest football club in Spain.
A maritime town between the rivers Anas (modern Guadiana) and Baetis (modern Guadalquivir), it was situated on the estuary of the River Luxia (modern Odiel), and on the road from the mouth of the Anas to Augusta Emerita (modern Mérida).
The city may be the site of Tartessus; it was called Onoba by the Phoenicians. The Greeks kept the name and rendered it Ὄνοβα. It was in the hands of the Turdetani at the time of conquest by Rome, and before the conquest it issued silver coins with Iberian legends. It was called both Onoba Aestuaria or Onuba (used on coinage) during Roman times, or, simply, Onoba. The city was incorporated into the Roman province of Hispania Baetica. The Arabs then called it Walbah and ruled between 714-1250. It suffered substantial damage in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
The Hermitage of El Rocío (Spanish: Ermita del Rocío or Ermita de El Rocío) is a hermitage at El Rocío in the countryside of Almonte, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Spain. The hermitage is home to the Virgin of El Rocío (Spanish: Virgen del Rocío), a small, much-venerated carved wood statue, and is the destination of an annual procession/pilgrimage on the second day of the Pentecost, known as the Romería de El Rocío, connected to the veneration of the Virgin of El Rocío; in recent years the Romería has brought together roughly a million pilgrims each year.
Although there has been a hermitage on this site for centuries, the present hermitage building was designed by architects Antonio Delgado y Roig and Alberto Balbontín de Orta, designed in 1961 and built in stages over the next two decades.
The historical chronicles say that King Alfonso X of Castile (Alfonso the Wise), present on the site in 1270, ordered the construction of a hermitage dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the place then known as Las Rocinas, which had recently been reconquered from the Muslims who at that time still ruled much of southern Spain. The same chronicles say that attracted by the beauty of the area and its abundant deer, Alfonso established himself a hunting preserve there in 1269, first known as the Coto Real del Lomo del Grullo y Las Rocinas, which largely coincides with today's Doñana National Park or Coto de Doñana.

El Rocío est un hameau rattaché à la commune espagnole d'Almonte (province de Huelva, Andalousie), à 17 km de là. Il est bordé par les marais du Parc national Doñana et il n'est pas rare d'y observer des flamants roses, à quelques mètres des habitations. Pendant une grande partie de l'année, El Rocío est un hameau peu habité. Le village a gardé un aspect très particulier où la modernité n'a pas sa place et qui n'est pas sans rappeler l'Ouest américain de la fin du XIXe siècle. Les rues sont de terre et de sable, aucune n'est pavée ou asphaltée. Devant chaque maison à véranda se trouvent des poteaux pour attacher les chevaux. L'existence même du hameau est due à la présence, dans son église, de la Vierge d'El Rocío Le pèlerinage d'El Rocío (en castillan romería del Rocío) est le plus import...

Reisetipp Spanien - geheimnisvolles Huelva Huelva liegt zwischen Sevilla und Portugal. Mit dem Flugzeug nicht unbedingt leicht zu erreichen, da man entweder nach Portugal fliegen muss und eine Stunde Autofahrt in Kauf nehmen muss, oder man fliegt nach Sevilla. Und auch dort eine Stunde Fahrt im Auto. Mehr auf www.nonsoloamore.net Music: Scott Holmes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Huelva is located between Sevilla and Portugal. It is not so easy reaching this place with the plane. You have to fly to Sevilla and then drive one hour or you fly to Portugal and drive one hour. And that is probably because this place is still free of the mass tourists. You have hundreds of kilometers between the beach and the inside of Huelva
