Spanish food and drink in Huelva
Typical gastronomy in Huelva
Huelvan cooking is distinguished by two special characteristics: in the first place, as has happened in all the other Spanish regions, it’s been strongly influenced by the large number of cultures that have lived on this soil. In the second place, Huelva's been positively affected by its privileged location; situated as it is in between the sea and the mountains and with some inland regions of great agricultural richness, its food possesses the best of each of these three environments.
For that very reason it’s difficult to summarize briefly all the province’s gastronomic specialities. Huelva’s known, above all, for three products whose excellence is unquestionable: ham from the Sierra, red berries (especially strawberries and raspberries from Lepe and Palos) and the shellfish and fish from the coast.
