What to expect

One of Spain's most beautiful and unspoiled corners is right next door to the Algarve. Visiting in a small group means you can get more from your experience. Huelva boasts landscapes of protected wetlands pockmarked by history-steeped towns. You'll visit the city of Huelva, and stop off to explore El Rocío, Caravels Dock in Rabida, as well as enjoy a visit to a winery. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, 'Apart from its religious significance, El Rocío is also known for its unique architectural style, characterised by whitewashed buildings with colourful trim and traditional wooden balconies. The town has a distinctly rustic and charming atmosphere, with sandy streets and a laid-back vibe'.

You'll start the tour with a guided tour of Huelva city, browsing all sorts of goodies at the market, then take a more spiritual turn at El Rocio – one of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites – where faith and tradition paint a vivid picture of Spanish culture. Drop by a shop specialising in frilly flamenco dresses, a true emblem of Spain. Enjoy some free time here to explore the town's charming streets.

Next up, is a visit to the Caravels Dock in La Rabida. Soak up the charming maritime panorama here – snapping shots of the life-size replica of historic ships, representing a bygone era before delving into the world of wines at the Bollullos winery. Immerse yourself in the flavours and aromas of the region with a tasting session, complemented by an assortment of tapas that promise to leave your taste buds tingling.
