In 1990 the new Atalaya golf course was built next to the village of Minas de Rio Tinto; the original was founded in the 19th century within the Rio Tinto copper mine. The course is 2,300 metres long, with grassed greens but the fairways are bare earth, reminiscent of the original course used by miners and engineers.

Columbus set forth for his historical voyage from the port of Palos, in the western Andalusian province of Huelva. The navigator took with him his dreams of discovery. His crew, who came from Palos and neighbouring Moguer, took more practical things, such as dried tuna, legumes and, of course, a good supply of Huelva wine.
Sierra de Aracena is the large comarca (area) in the north of Huelva Province. It covers part of the Sierra Morena mountain range that spans accross most of northern Andalucia.
Huelva is one of the least-visited regions in Andalucía, but it has many unique places to discover and explore, from cork oak-covered hills, to deserted beaches. Indeed, this province's escape from mass tourism is one of its main attractions. It lies at the western edge of Andalucía, bordered by Portugal to the west, Seville province to the east and the region of Extremadura to the north.
Arising out of the midst of the surrounding greenery, the giant opencast mines of Rio Tinto create a surreal, almost lunar landscape. The removal of layer upon layer of soil and rock, in the search for iron ore, copper, silver and a host of other mineral ores, has tinted this part of the world in hues of dusty pink, brown, yellow, red and grey.
Isla Canela is a natural island, which is connected by a bridge to Ayamonte. It is situated at the mouth of the river Guadiara on the border with Portugal. There are magnificent sea views taking in the coastal marshland and Atlantic Ocean.
The flat course is easy to walk around without the need for a buggy. It has been designed so the natural sand dunes give shape to the narrow fairways, while the strategically placed palms trees, as well as the eucalyptus and olives, can cause some difficulties.
The marshlands of this area bordering Portugal have been well integrated into the second 18-hole course at Costa Esuri, giving it added difficulty but providing a magnificent setting with views of the town of Ayamonte and towards the Atlantic Ocean. Slightly shorter, though somewhat more technical than the West Course, one of the main challenges here for all players lies in the sloping greens and dog-leg fairways.
This course opened in 2006. It is situated in a very beautiful area overlooking the River Guadiana which forms the border with Portugal.
