When in Huelva it's well worth a visit to the Caravel Dock to see the full size replica ships used for the voyage of discovery to America.

Columbine Places
In 1485 Columbus arrived to the La Rabida Monastery from Portugal, looking for hospitality.
Not only did he find that, but brother Juan Pérez and brother Antonio de Marchena also helped
Columbus to talk with the Catholic Kings and to obtain the financing for his travels. The
Columbine Places -declared of Historical-Artistic interest in 1967- are those places that played
a crucial role in Christopher Columbus' Discovering of America. Moguer and Palos de la Frontera,
along with La Rábida monastery and Santa Clara Monastery -whose abbess helped Columbus and when
he spent a whole night praying after his return, are a must-see for everyone interested in one
of the most important moments in history.
