Columbus Memorial Places in Huelva by Jakob Frenzel
March 2017 - for our honeymoon we chose Andalucia as a Destination and had 2 weeks time to visit the many beautiful cities and sites. Day 1 we landed in Sevilla, got our rental car and had still time to drive up to Huelva. We stopped in Palos de la Fronterra, a festival was taking place in remembrance of 525 years of Columbus discovering America.
Very nice little town, the church roofs were inhabited by storks probably a few weeks before going back to northern Europe. The atmosphere was even better due to the little festival. The area however is predominantly covered by strawberry and tomatoe glasshouses. It looks somewhat unreal and destroys the historic flair of the area. We still drive to Rapida to see the Monument and the Church before we found a wild camping spot at the coast further east.
