Location and history:The different campuses combine architectural innovations in modern facilities with the charm of XVI century buildings. Huelva is the scenario of the preparations and departure of the first Christopher Columbus journey to discover America, and it is the meeting point of ancient cultures (Huelva is mentioned by the Bible -Old Testament-, Ptolomeo, Strabo and Mela, and it is recognised as the ancient city in Europe according to archaeological findings of Tartessos). Other historical facts, as the presence of multiple cultures (Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, British), make Huelva a singular point within the European context.The special location of Huelva (around 140,000 inhabitants), between rivers Tinto and Odiel, close to large sandy beaches and the presence of the national park of Doñana are additional reasons to choose this place to complete the educational or research tasks.
