Huelva (pop.145,000)
Located where the Odiel river meets the Atlantic Ocean, Huelva is an important port and a significant center for the fishing industry, and has been so since its origin dating back to the 12th century. Many of the city's historic remains were destroyed in the 18th century earthquake, but several interesting sights have lasted in the industrialized city of today. Some attractions are connected with Columbus and the discovery of America, such as the Monument to Columbus and Our Lady of La Cinta, since it was from near Huelva Columbus set sail for the Americas in 1492.
