El Rompido boasts a magnificent beach, 10 kms long, which runs parallel to a strip of sand dunes, and separated from it by a 300 metre-wide length of sea water. From its pine groves, without doubt the best view of the whole coast of Huelva can be enjoyed. (Map)
Punta Umbría is reached by crossing pine groves and dunes which separate it on one side from the sea, and on the other from the Odiel Salt Marshes Nature Reserve. Principally a fishing village, it has been transformed by a large increase in tourism. This has contributed not only to the installation of a wide range of services along its extensive beach, but also to the opportunity to practice water sports at its sailing harbour. (Map)

It is in a privileged position, surrounded by the Doñana National Park. This makes it an ideal spot for nature lovers and those in search of rest and relaxation. The more adventurous are guaranteed facilities for numerous aquatic and terrestrial sports. (Map)

Mazagón has a magnificent marina and clean, golden beaches. Then comes the popular resort of Matalascañas and the coastline of Doñana Park. Inland is El Condado, a district of good wine, villages, and resplendent urban design, such as Bollullos, Almonte, and La Palma, and the pilgrimage festival which attracts the largest crowds in Spain, El Rocío, in the now universal marshland village.
