Finca Contrabando - Self-catering apartments in Huelva
Huertas de Sanlúcar, 21595 Sanlúcar de Guadiana, Huelva
Andalusia,
Espagne
In the Andalusian countryside, where Spain brushes up against Portugal, you bump down a track and the view unfolds to a row of five neat apartments circled by gardens on the banks of the Guadiana river with trees and hills rising beyond. It's peaceful here, no sounds except birds and the river, guests splashing in the saltwater pool.
Cook simple meals in the dinky kitchenette or use the shared barbecue or larger kitchen in the communal building. It's a fantastic space to hang out – perfect if you take more than one apartment – with sofas, TV, boardgames and a big fireplace. If you want to be private, eat in your own shaded courtyard, screened by low white walls and pretty plants.
It's a 15-minute stroll (you'll need a torch at night) or short drive to the pretty riverside town of Sanlúcar de Guadiana that gazes across to its Portuguese neighbour, Alcoutim. A water taxi runs every half hour, or take the zip wire! There are restaurants on both banks.

Local points of interest from Marta Jariod:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Marta Jariod:
- Finca Contrabando is located in Sanlúcar de Guadiana in the border area with Portugal. The area is historically known for smuggling commodities between the two countries. Today, at most, a smile is "smuggled" between guests
- Because how else could you look at nature, the river, the blue sky and the neighbouring city on the other bank? You can reach the finca directly by boat. You get off at the private jetty and start your well-deserved vacation.
- The owners of the finca love the sea and the river and have been sailing since childhood. They found the perfect place in the picturesque town of Sanlúcar for the rural project that reflects their concept of natural living – there's a slow and respectful approach to the environment here.
- The customs and solidarity lived in the seaside town on the border between Spain and Portugal were key for the Finca project: to show guests that "travelling slowly" in the midst of nature and using the local resources is the option is to travel.
