Punta Umbría is a picturesque town in Huelva just over 12 miles from the provincial capital. Its fascinating history, its natural attractions and its stunning beaches make it very difficult to turn down a holiday in Punta Umbría.
Our cheap Punta Umbría getaways and the town's privileged climate will mean you can enjoy a number of local beaches. There are all kinds – Los Enebrales, for example, is one of the most isolated, with golden sand and fairly gentle waves. It can be reached through a pine forest that almost stretches to the water and is especially popular with nudists. Punta Umbría beach, on the other hand, is more urban. Here you can find beach bars on the sand as well as bars along the seafront Avenida del Océano, where you can enjoy Huelva's fine gastronomy.
Continuing with the natural attractions, we should not forget the fresh water El Portil lagoon, stretching over five square miles. Hiking enthusiasts will love the chance to walk surrounded by beautiful nature in the company of numerous water birds.
The British played an important role in the region. At the end of the 19th century, a group of investors created the Rio Tinto company to mine the rich subsoil. The company provided the workers with houses like the one you can visit in the Museo de los Ingleses (the English Museum), a fully-detailed, faithful reproduction of domestic life from yesteryear.
Finally, complete the Punta Umbría holiday package by taking in the Umbría tower, the oldest building in town. It was built as defence from the attacks of the Berber pirates that devastated the Spanish coasts in the 16th and 17th centuries.
