The name Los Marines has a curious history: during a visit by King Felipe II to the municipality, an inhabitant asked him why, being so powerful, he didn't bring the sea to the town. The king's response was: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors." Since then, all the young men of the town performed their military service in the navy of Huelva.

This picturesque municipality, surrounded by nature and beauty, is an ideal place to explore during a getaway to the Sierra de Huelva. Do not hesitate to visit Los Marines and enjoy its charm.

Picturesque hamlet in the interior of the Sierra de Huelva with beautiful typical white buildings. It is a very quiet place and a good place to rest and relax.

Los Marines owes its name to a visit by King Philip II to the municipality, in which a town resident asked him if he was so powerful, why didn't he bring the sea to the town. Philip II replied: "I will not bring the sea, but you will be sailors" and since then all the young men of the town served in the military in the Huelva marina. The municipality's economy is based mainly on the production of chestnuts and to a lesser extent on pig farming.
