Christopher Columbus
Among the attractions to
visit in this province are the Columbus sites . These sites include the
city of Huelva itself, Moguer, Palos de la Frontera, and the Rábida
Monastery. La Rábida is where Columbus sought the aid of the Franciscan
brothers in advancing his project of discovery. They introduced him to
local rich sailors (the Pinzón brothers), and, eventually, arranged
a meeting in Seville with Ferdinand and Isabella.
Thanks to those meetings,
Christopher was able to arrange his first voyage, using resources and local
crew (including ship captains). There is a persistent legend that Columbus
received advice on how best to undertake a western passage by speaking
with Alonso Sánchez, a sailor from the city of Huelva.
In the Huelva area, Columbus
exchanged ideas, explored competing theories, and, after a time, put together
the political and economic support that had been previously denied to him
by other European monarchies.
