Huelva is a city in the autonomous region of Andalusia in southern Spain. It covers 149 sq km (58 sq mi) and has a population of 150,000 people (2012 estimate).

Huelva is located on the coast of the Gulf of Cadiz, where the river Odiel meets the river Tinto. The city is not far from the border with Portugal. Its history may have dated back to the time of the Phoenicians. At that time, it was known as Onoba. The settlement was later ruled by the Romans, and even today, you can find Roman ruins in the city.

Huelva has the oldest football club in Spain. The Recreativo del Huelva was founded in 1889 by workers of the British mining company, Rio Tinto Group. The city has a port divided into two areas, the Inner Port and the Outer Port. The Outer Port, with six wharves, is the main port of Huelva.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
