90 km - 1 hour
Leave Seville City centre to the west
just north of the Triana district, passing the entrance to Isla
Cartuja and cross the Puente del Patroncino.
Alternatively leave the SE30 ring road
at km 17.
The A49 motorway climbs up out of the
Guadalquivir valley offering a last look back at the city. The motorway
is named 'Autopista del Quinto centenario' or Motorway of five centuries
in reference to the story of Columbus that lies ahead.
The scenery is that of rolling hills
and agriculture, sunflowers and wheat.
If you have plenty of time at junction
10 near Bollullos turn south towards Almonte and El
Rocio (a small village that hosts one million pilgrims each
may), the Doņana
National Park (Greatest marshlands in Europe) , Matalascaņas,
Mazagon (Golden sandy coast), La
Rabida and Palos
de la Frontera for Columbus followers.
Alternatively just before Huelva the
N435 leads north to the endless vista of rolling hills covered in
evergreens- Sierra
de Aracena.
Continue straight
on to enter the city of Huelva
itself.
Turn right before entering Huelva itself
on the N431 westwards for the Huelva
to Portugal.
