Andalusia tour of Huelva with wine-tasting

One of Spain's most beautiful and unspoiled corners is right next door to the Algarve. Andalusia boasts landscapes of protected wetlands pockmarked by history-steeped towns. You'll visit Huevla City, Caravels Dock in La Rabida, stop off to explore El Rocío, 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 laidback vibe."You'll start the tour with a visit to the city of Huelva, where you'll head to a market for a chance to wander around the stalls, learn a little about the culture of Huevla and shop for some souvenirs – Andalusian pottery, abanicos fans and leather goods are all top picks here. Then, things take a 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. Afterwards, you'll visit the Caravels Dock in La Rabida, where you'll get to snap up pics of this waterfront exhibition with life-size replicas of the ships Christopher Columbus used during his voyage to the Americas. You'll round off your tour with a trip to Bollullos Winery for a tasting session.
