This restored dock is just amazing. Nothing much there but a walk along the lower (or if brave the upper) deck and the views are incredible. The history of the site is interesting too

YOU MUST TO GO IF YOU ARE IN HUELVA I must admit that I am rather surprised by the somewhat dismissive attitude of some of the reviewers of this attraction, but, we are all entitled to our opinions, even if they are not coincident. Around the Punta de Sebo, where the rivers Tinto and Odiel combine before meeting the sea, there stands, since 1929, a colossal, 37 metres high sculpture, gifted by the citizens of the United States to the people of Spain. From that time this monument has formed part of the sense of identity of the city of Huelva. With design by the New York sculptress Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, there rises a human figure in the cubist style, covered with a cloak and resting upon the cross, representing in allegoric form the valour and the faith of the navigator in the conquest of the unknown. On the corners of the monument are represented the four continents and within each the sculpting illustrates the Catholic King and Queen, the navigation map used by Christopher Columbus, the names of the ships that participated in the first voyage and their crews. (This translation I made from the Spanish text on a signboard at the site).
