February 5, 2020 trip to Huelva

Huelva is the port in Spain where Christopher Columbus sailed to the new world. We checked out some of the Columbus sites in Huelva today.

We did not go into the monastery where Columbus lived before he went sailing. We did not go into the three replicas of Columbus's Ships. We may go back with Laughlin and Kate oh did I forget Sophia. We had a good  drive and a wonderful day. On the mayhem we got gas which is cheaper in Spain and I signed up for the pool up at our Spanish golf course.

As we got to the monastery where Columbus lived we saw a restaurant and went in. The manager spoke some English and we ordered something. You would think that at a tourist location people would speak English but this is untrue. We ended up with rice and shrimp and then fried sardines. The rice was really good, but that was it.

I found a site produced by a couple in a motorhome which gives you some very good pictures,

Now a couple of my pictures.

This is the restaurant we ate is not much of a meal but very nice restaurant.


This is an observation tower I believe we did not check it out and there were very few people at the site.
