Huelva is a beautiful province, but very unknown to most. That is why it is not overcrowded and becomes a perfect getaway for any spring day, with good weather and incredible beaches. Don't know where to go? This fishing enclave in the heart of a natural setting is beautiful and hides one of the most beautiful wild beaches in Spain.
El Rompido is a small fishing town surrounded by white sand beaches, marshes, dunes and pine forests. This town in the municipality of Cartaya has that beautiful white architecture typical of Andalusia, with its whitewashed houses and fishermen's shelters lined up in front of the river, next to its river port. The colorful barges moored and dancing to the rhythm of the waves are quite a postcard.
El Rompido is a wonderful corner to get lost and disconnect, without large buildings or heritage. Simply, its picturesque character and its two lighthouses: one of 13 meters, built in the 19th century and another of 31 meters, erected in 1976 when the first one became too small. The most incredible thing about this town is, however, 15 kilometers away by boat.
There is the Flecha del Rompido, a 12-kilometer dune area that constantly grows and transforms, being unique in Europe. It can only be accessed by boat, crossing that estuary that takes you to the incredible Nueva Umbría beach, with fine sand and beautiful waters that change with the tides and the sand brought by the sea. It's quite a spectacle.
