What is Huelva like?

Question

I'm going for school trip and we were told to research things on the city, and help?

Answer 1

Juan Ramón Jimenez was from a town in the province of Huelva, called Moguer.  If you are going there, find out if you will be visiting his home.  It's a tourist site, as is La Rábida, also in the province, not the city.  It is a monestary, and is where Columbus lived while petitioning Ísabel la Católica for money to finance his trip to the Indies.
