The history of Islantilla and Isla Cristina
Isla Cristina was founded on November 1, 1755, after the famous Lisbon earthquake. It took an earthquake and three tsunamis to create this beautiful area. Every year, November 1st marks this milestone, and people celebrate in the streets of Isla Cristina, streets that smell of salt and fish. The entire population and fishermen happily remember the date on which the seafaring city was founded, transforming it into one of the most special places on the Huelva coast.
