Huelva has a jasmine scent and a salty ocean wind. Surrounded by two rivers Tinto and Odiel, every morning shows us its beauty and a charm, shows us its fine declines spilt at the ocean. Huelva is a light, the nature, the sea, dishes, folklore, a landscape, a rosemary. The thousand-year city, which soul was molded by Greek, Roman and Phoenician cultures. Huelva - a city of not found out discoveries, has a history, soft landscapes, warm small streets, a flamenco and flying seagulls on the horizon. Doñana National Park - a huge protected space has saved up the biological riches recognised as an object of the international importance. Reserve of the Human Heritage of Biosphere, its territory is generated from a combination of various ecosystems among them the special place is occupied with a swamp zone and freshwater bogs of the river Guadalquivir. Here the Spanish lynxes brought in the Red Book as a rare species live, and on wintering here arrives over a half-million of waterfowls. Situated in a province of Huelva, Doñana adjoins with another interesting object of the great cultural importance, Ermita del Rocio well-known hermitage in Almonte and a place of pilgrimage of the Spanish Catholics.
