The Andalusian Province of Huelva is extremely famous the diversity of superb quality seafood from its coast, and the highly prized cured ham made from acorn-fed Iberian pigs from the mountains. Plates of thinly sliced ‘jamon’ are ubiquitous throughout the bars and restaurants of the sierra whilst the pigs can be seen grazing beneath oak trees on the hillsides. Also not to be missed is the seafood landed daily at the port in Isla Cristina. King prawns are caught in the estuary together with delicious white prawns – unmistakable due to their colour and taste. Clawed lobsters, spiny lobsters, and ‘coquina’ a tasty type of clam are other examples of the delicious seafood available.
