One series of attraction to visit in this province are the so-called Columbus sites . These sites include Huelva itself, Moguer, Palos de la Frontera and the Rábida Monastery. The visitors can find the places where Columbus sought the aid of the Franciscans at the monastery of La Rábida. They introduced him to local rich sailors – the Pinzón Brothers – and Ferdinand and Isabella .

Thanks to those meetings, Christopher was able to arrange his first voyage, using resources and local crew (including captains). It is hypothesized that Columbus got the final route by speaking with Alonso Sanchez, a sailor in the city of Huelva.
Columbus exchanged ideas, theories, and got the political and economic support that had been previously denied by European authorities of the time.

Huelva was not only the starting point of that important voyage, it was the starting point of the realization of an idea of many people towards a new horizon.
