Other nice little things..

There is a neighborhood in the city center of Huelva called Barrio Reina Victoria. It's quite odd actually. It's located on a hill top and sectioned off by a low wall and gates. All the residences here are small old British style houses, with little verandas with overgrown flowers and climbers and little streets. Everything seems miniature. As the story goes, way back in 'the day' during Queen Victoria's reign, this neighborhood was built to house poor British mining families that worked in Huelva. Now, the Barrio Reina Victoria is a site to see and an expensive little neighborhood to live in.
Also, one evening I took myself on a little walk down to Muelle de Riotinto, which is a kind of long pier that curves out into the Rio Tinto. Beyond the Rio there are a lot of marsh lands and eventually the Atlantic coast. At sunset this place is gorgeous. I took a breather here and read my book for an hour or so.
