Walking in Huelva

Donana National Park in Spain - A UNESCO World Heritage Site. SPIN: Walking in Huelva

Saga Hosted Hotels

Walking

Explore the province of Huelva in Andalucía, situated in the sun-kissed southwest of Spain. You'll also discover the rustic charm of the Costa de la Luz, with its coastline stretching from the Portuguese border to the Bay of Cadiz. On this walking holiday, we'll visit charming villages like Almonaster and delve into the intriguing history of Huelva's mining area. We'll see the breathtaking landscapes of Doñana National Park and explore the Guadiana River, one of the major rivers in the Iberian Peninsula, flowing through both Spain and Portugal.

Five included guided walks
- Almonaster
- Rio Piedras Nature Reserve and El Rompido
- Huelvas Mining area
- River Guadiana
- Doñana national park

There’s a softer, more rustic side to Andalusia on the Costa de la Luz, and the pace of life is slower than in some of the more touristy spots. This hotel is a popular choice for wildlife and birdwatchers, who love its location surrounded by a huge nature reserve criss-crossed with walking and cycling trails. And it certainly makes the most of its stunning location, with its rooftop terrace, two outdoor swimming pools (one adults-only), indoor heated pool and spectacular views from every room. The pillow menu and tea and coffee-making facilities mean you’ll soon feel at home in your room, and you can also immerse yourself in local culture at the hotel with botanical tours and Spanish language classes.
