Huelva is definitely a nature and golf paradise<\/h2>\n

Huelva is located in Andalusia, Spain. Between Seville and Portugal there is this village called Huelva with 147.212 inhabitants and a surface area of 149 km\u00b2. \u00a0It is almost unaffected by the typical tourists. Especially the Spanish people like this place because of the stunning beaches (Part II) and the large national park of Coto de Donana. Nature lovers come here enjoying this region, as one-third of the province is here under nature protection.<\/p>\n

Huelva is very diverse. There is the possibility of a complete golf vacation in the middle of a wonderful landscape. But you can also spend a relaxing beach holiday with small cultural highlights or just visit the interior of the country with all their beauty.<\/p>\n

Ham:<\/h3>\n

In Huelva there is located a ham production – Jamones Eiriz\u00a0Jabugo. This small but fine company is family run since generations. And precisely that is noticeable. There is the possibility of a tour through the halls. The whole process is described and shown. It is particularly interesting watching the funny pigs in the nature.\u00a0They are quite tame and have several thousands of hectares for leading a good life. This is also reflected in the quality of the ham. They are not slaughtered there. So no panic (I was a little in panic first).<\/p>\n

\"Schweinchen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the visit, I had the possibility to taste of the different types of ham with an excellent wine. The atmosphere is very informal. A cozy room with a nice chat, eat and drink.<\/p>\n

Domingo E\u00edriz Mart\u00edn<\/p><\/div>\n

Domingo the owner of Jamones Eiriz\u00a0Jabugo\u00a0is a truly fabulous person. You notice immediately his passion for his profession and the family company.<\/p>\n

Minas de\u00a0Riotinto<\/h3>\n

The Rio Tinto (red ink flow) in Huelva (Spain) is well known all over the world and attracts young and old. This River in the middle of the country has a reddish color. Sometimes even a bit too red….<\/p>\n

Maria Jesus our very pleasant and extremely qualified leader even brought us down into the river bed.<\/p>\n

\"Rio<\/a><\/p>\n

Why does the color of the water\u00a0looks like blood?<\/h3>\n

The coloration of the water comes from the weathering of sulfide heavy metal minerals of the local mineral deposit. With a special bacteria these heavy metals flow into the water. Please don’t try to drink this water!!!!! High acid content.<\/p>\n

Important: It is essential to wear appropriate shoes.\u00a0You have to go up and down some rocks. I was \u00a0with my wedges sandals. Not exactly the best idea. But as I always wear kind of heels…. I had a few problems but I had some helping arms. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0So rather gym shoes or who like hiking shoes, too.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
