The best traffic-free bike rides around Bollullos Par Del Condado

The Parish Church of Santa María de la Purificación, due to its volumetric force and its location in an elevated part of the town, becomes the most representative architectural landmark. Despite being initially located away from the urban center, it is a remarkable example of a Sevillian church, in which the Mudejar and Baroque styles converge, following a very characteristic approach to 18th-century construction practice in the area. Built according to Mudejar principles in its original construction, which appears to date from the 15th century, it would later be practically rebuilt after the damage caused by the 1755 earthquake, conforming to the Baroque guidelines prevailing in the second half of the 17th century. A reconstruction in which Pedro de Silva, Antonio Matías de Figueroa, and José Álvarez participated. Among them, Antonio Matías de Figueroa stands out for the significance of his intervention in the complex. His work on the Manzanilla church can therefore be considered one of the last examples of this family's distinctive style—the so-called triumphal baroque—and one of the first signs of the change of direction demanded by the changing times, in their preference for the primacy of Rococo lines over Baroque masses. The appearance of neoclassical elements (the Gospel nave portal), derived from the presence of José Alvarez (1782–1783) as director of the works, also speaks to the formal evolution of the style toward the last quarter of the century. Finally, the tower (1760-1779) stands out, attributed to Lucas Cintora and Francisco Díaz Pinto, and one of the most beautiful examples in the province. It perfectly fits one of the two characteristic typologies of 18th-century Andalusia, originating from the Giralda in Seville. It forms part of a unique group of towers in Huelva, along with that of the Temple of San Pedro in Huelva and that of the Church of San Juan Bautista (La Palma del Condado), all of which follow a very similar model. This building represents another example of the intense religious construction activity that characterized 18th-century Huelva architecture, motivated by a fortunate combination of economic, demographic, and natural circumstances (earthquakes), and which has come to be known as its Golden Age.

The Plaza de Andalucía is located in the center of the town. Surrounding it are the Town Hall (Manzanilla City Hall), the Market, and stately homes representative of the town. Villalba, Hermanos Álvarez Quintero, Santo Cristo, Alférez Galiano Camacho, and Benafique streets converge in the square. It forms the nerve center of Manzanilla. It is a square plaza surrounded by plants and benches. Its two fronts are flanked by the Market and the Town Hall. Of note is a central pavilion called Morabito, made of brick and ceramic, which is an old font.

The Plaza de España in La Palma del Condado is an emblematic and central place in this charming town in the province of Huelva. Surrounded by historic buildings and with a vibrant atmosphere, it is a popular meeting point for both locals and visitors. In this square, you can find the Parish Church of San Juan Bautista, one of the most representative churches of the 18th century Sevillian Baroque style. In addition, the square is close to other points of interest such as the Convent of Our Lady of Carmen and the Old Town Hall.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest epicenters of Marian devotion in the world, the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Rocío is visited by hundreds of thousands of believers throughout the year. Surrounded by marshes and fervor, the sanctuary stands in the village of El Rocío in Almonte, a magical and esoteric place where all roads converge.

Absolutely recommended for touring cyclists. The environment of this trail is five stars. Beautiful conifers provide shade. The concrete path meanders through the forest and is well maintained. At the end of the path there is a terrace for a coke. Only downsides: it is relatively short and you have to return the same way.

About 1,000,000 come every year! Pilgrims

The dusty, sleepy place looks like the backdrop of a film. A film that takes place in a small Mexican town in the 18th or 19th century. Not a single street here is tarred. Instead: sand, sand and more sand

Since the middle of the 18th century, pilgrimages (Romerías) have taken place on a large scale in El Rocío. Today, what happens in the town every year during Pentecost can be described as a huge spectacle. And as one of the weirdest religious celebrations on the European continent. Around a million (!) pilgrims come to El Rocío from all parts of the country at Pentecost. The highlight is the procession that begins on the night of Whit Monday. The almost human-sized, festively decorated Madonna is then carried under a canopy through the surging crowd for around twelve (!) hours.
