Huelva

Also known as Onoba

Huelva is a port city in Andalusia, south-western Spain, where the Odiel and Tinto rivers meet, and capital of the province of the same name. As ancient Onoba it was a major centre of the Tartessian world, where Phoenician and Greek traders obtained silver and copper from the mines of the Río Tinto area. The province, bordering Portugal, remains a mining and farming region.
