GOLF: A game of nature
and elegance
Huelva is also a well-kept secret for golf en-
thusiasts. With courses scattered along the
coast and inland, this province offers a diffe-
rent kind of golfing experience: more relaxed,
more in tune with nature, and free from the
crowds of better-known destinations.
Designed by renowned architects, the golf
courses in Huelva stand out for their technical
quality and privileged surroundings. Playing
here means teeing off among pine forests,
dunes or dehesas, with birdsong as your
soundtrack. On the coast, the Atlantic breeze
adds an extra challenge; inland, the silence
and beauty of the landscape make for an un-
forgettable round.
Many of these courses are part of top-level re-
sorts that also offer wellness, gastronomy and
accommodation services—making Huelva
an increasingly appreciated golf destination
for both national and international players

Gastronomy: A feast for the senses
Huelva’s cuisine is one of its greatest sources of pride. Few pro-
vinces can boast such variety and quality. In the north, Jamón de
Jabugo, with its Protected Designation of Origin, reigns supreme.
Cured in natural cellars thanks to the climate and mountain air,
each slice embodies centuries of tradition and know-how passed
down through generations.
Alongside it are products such as artisanal cheeses, seasonal
mushrooms, chestnuts, Iberian cured meats, game meats, and
rosemary-scented honey—ingredients that complete a culinary
repertoire rich in both simplicity and depth.
On the coast, the sea offers up its finest treasures. Huelva’s whi-
te prawn is a unique delicacy, but it is far from alone: coquinas,
clams, almadraba tuna, chocos, sole and other local species take
centre stage in recipes that honour the product and enhance its
flavour. Freshness is a given. Often, what ends up on the plate
was pulled from the sea that very morning.
The local wine also speaks with its own voice: the wines of the
Condado de Huelva, made with native grape varieties such as
zalema, pair elegantly with any meal. And to round things off, ex-
cellent extra virgin olive oils and a traditional confectionery where
Moorish and Christian influences blend in perfect harmony.
