ITAA Post Conference Fam in Huelva
#TRAVELTRADETOGETHER
The 2022 ITAA conference was excellent and the follow up wasn’t half bad either! The post Fam trip is eagerly anticipated and Huelva didn’t disappoint. What a Province! It really is an undiscovered gem. We strolled around the jewel of Franciscan Monasterio de Santa Maria de la Rabida where Christopher Columbus sought assistance to intercede with Queen Isabella to finance his voyages. Luckily she did and he brought great glory to Spain. We visited replicas of his ships at Palos de la Frontera: Santa Maria, La Pinta and La Nina.
