As the name suggests, this was once an island. Today, however, landfill has linked it to the mainland. It lies 8km (5 miles) east of Ayamonte and 55km (34 miles) west of Huelva. Enveloped by tidal estuaries, Isla Cristina is today a building block of holiday apartments, many owned by Sevillanos who flock here in July and August. The fishing port here, second-most important in Huelva province, supplies fish to Córdoba and Seville, even Madrid. Stroll along Carretera de la Playa, with its mammoth eucalyptus trees, to the town's sandy beach. An even better beach, Playa Central, lies 2km (1 1/4 miles) east of the center. In the heart of the village itself, life centers on Plaza de las Flores.
