• The Paraje Natural Marismas del Odiel is opposite the provincial capital Huelva on the other side of the Río Odiel.

• The Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche Natural Park is in the western part of the Sierra Morena, in the north of the province. Chestnut groves as well as cork and holm oak forests determine the landscape. Half-wild black pigs live there and are fattened with acorns. The hams and sausages from these animals are the main products of this region - the hams from Jabugo are considered to be the best in Spain.
• The Río Tinto (coloured river) rises in the north of the province and flows after about 100 km near the provincial capital Huelva together with the Río Odiel into the Atlantic Ocean. The colour of the water has its origin in the deposits of iron and copper in the upper reaches, at Minas de Riotinto these have been mined for 3000 years. It is this river and its mines that lends its name to Australian mining giant Rio Tinto.
• The Ruta Colombina follows in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus through the province: in the monastery of Monasterio de la Rábida he found a like-minded person in the confessor of Queen Isabella. At the Muelle de las Carabellas, replicas of the ships Pinta, Niña and Santa Maria are on display. Columbus started his first voyage in Palos de la Frontera, and this is where the captain of the Pinta came from.
