Begin your exploration at the very heart of the historic center of Huelva. From here, delve into the Reina Victoria neighborhood, a living testament to British influence with its distinct architectural style. Known as the Barrio Obrero (Working-Class District), this area housed employees of the Rio Tinto Company Limited in the early 20th century. These homes, now a protected historic site, reflect the company’s efforts to create a dedicated community for its workers. As you walk through the city center, discover the old Hotel Colón, frequently visited by British executives. Did you know it was one of the few places with electric lighting and hot water back then? Imagine the technological marvel it represented during that era.
