Hotel Fuerte El Rompido
)
Saga Hosted Hotels
There’s a wilder, more rustic side to Andalusia on the Costa de la Luz, and the pace of life is slower than in some of the more touristy spots. This hotel is a popular choice for wildlife and birdwatchers, who love its location surrounded by a huge nature reserve criss-crossed with walking and cycling trails. And it certainly makes the most of its stunning location, with its rooftop terrace, two outdoor swimming pools (one adults-only) and an indoor heated pool. The pillow menu and tea and coffee-making facilities mean you’ll soon feel at home in your room, and you can also immerse yourself in local culture at the hotel with its authentic Spanish food, botanical tours and Spanish language classes.

Local Area
El Rompido is a quiet Spanish fishing town set at the mouth of the Piedras River. There’s a string of cafes and restaurants lining the waterfront, and a small town square complete with traditional whitewashed church. Back at the hotel, guests can follow well signposted walks onto the protected nature reserve, where 14km of trails reveal beautiful marshlands, pine forests and shifting sand dunes.
Optional excursions

Footsteps of Columbus
This half day tour takes you around the local sites and locations associated with Christopher Columbus, including the giant Monument to the Discovery Faith overlooking the confluence of the rivers Tinto and Odiel. It’s a fascinating tour that lets you learn more about the explorer’s links to Huelva and the nearby town of La Rábida. You’ll visit the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Cinta and find out how the abbot helped to secure the funding for Columbus’s voyages to the New World as well as visiting the Wharf of the Caravels in Palos de la Frontera where full-size replicas of the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María can be found.
