Historia Founded in 1000 b.C, the city prospered under reign of the Visigoths, but they were forced to seek refuge in nearby Niebla after the arrival of the Arabs, and were eventually defeated. The city was a centre for science and engineering, both for the Arabs as for the Christians. The Arabs called the city Welba, that was later changed into the Spanish word Huelva. With the discovery of America Huelva’s importance increased, mainly because the famous expedition left from Palos de la Frontera, a village nearby. Also the patrons of Columbus’expedition came fron Huelva. From this period you can visit various monuments. In 1823 the old kingdoms of Spain were divided into regions and the province of Huelva came into existence. In 1873 the city sold the right to mine the nearby mines to the english and they modernized the city and its surroundings. A railway was constructed and the port was improved to facilitate the loading and unloading of minerals. A large demographic increase took place when people who wanted to work in the chemical industry zone, that was built under Franco’s regime, started to arrive in the city. The current port of Huelva was constructed during the 1960s and 1970s and replaced the installations that were there before. This, and more investments into the industry caused a duplication of the population within 40 years. Hotelopia tiene un amplio abanico de ofertas en hoteles en Huelva.
