Madrid, August 2011

Andevalo, also known as Camp Andevalo is an historical region located in the central province of Huelva in Andalucia. Halfway between the coast and the Huelva Sierra, between Portugal and the Huelva Cuenca Minera opens a vast territory consisting on meadows and reforested territories.

Between plains and small hills of scrub, Andevalo Camp offers visual appeal and a landscape that captures the uniqueness of native and visitors.

The Andevalo is a transitional space between the coastal plain of the Huelva province, where the city of Huelva and adjacent zones of Donana National Park are located, and its limit with the province of Cadiz and the abrupt reliefs of the mountainous area to the north.

From any of the multiple Andevalo’s hills, an almost unlimited horizon opens before the visitor to the south, where on clear days you could almost guess the end of the earth and the immensity of the blue waves in the background. To the north, the limits and much clearer on the horizon, drawn by the foothills of the mountains, the area known as Serra Pelada, gives access to the western end of Sierra Morena and the Natural Park of Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Arroche.

Within the historical región of Andevalo, two subunits can be distinguished: Cuenca Minera, consisting of six municipalities and West Andevalo, consisting on other fourteen municipalities.

Andévaloda land and shelter between twenty municipalities: El Almendro, Alonso, Berrocal, Cabezas Rubias, Calañas, El Campillo, El Cerro de Andevalo, El Granado, Minas de Riotinto, Nerva, Paymogo, Puebla de Guzmán, San Bartolome de la Torre, Sanlucar del Guadiana, San Silvestre de Guzmán, Santa Bárbara de Casa, Valverde del Camino, Villanueva de las Cruces, Villanueva de los Castillejos and Zalamea la Real.
