The village, of white houses and wide pedestrian spaces, has several buildings of interest, such as the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the Town Hall (XVI century), or the Museo de la Villa. But among all its monumental heritage stands out the sanctuary of the Virgen del Rocio, where every year comes the Pilgrimage of El Rocio, with thousands of devotees who fill the village of joy and religious fervor. This place is also the ideal place for the practice of equestrian activities such as equestrian competitions or horseback riding.
Do not leave Almonte without visiting the Doñana National Park, one of the most important protected areas in Europe. It is worth touring this immense area, where dunes, pine forests, marshes, lagoons and preserves serve as refuge for hundreds of bird species, as well as endangered animals such as the Iberian lynx.
Just three kilometers from Doñana is Matalascañas, the beach with the largest hotel capacity on the Huelva coast, with almost five kilometers of extension, and which is an ideal enclave for the practice of nautical sports.
