Moguer Attractions
Leave Huelva on the Seville road (N 431), and just beyond San Juan del Puerto (14km/9mi) take a road on the right which crosses the Río Tinto and comes to Moguer (alt. 51m/167ft), a little town situated on a hill 21km/13mi from Huelva. In the 16th century this was the starting-point of many voyages to America.
Juan Ramón Jiménez
The birthplace of the poet and Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez (born in Moguer in 1881) is now a museum.
Santa Clara
The church of Santa Clara in Moguer, which belonged to a once important convent founded in 1348, contains the very beautiful alabaster tombs of members of the Portocarrero family, founders of the convent, as well as a statue of the Virgin by Montañés and fine choir-stalls.
