Almonte is a town and municipality located in the province of Huelva, in southwestern Spain. According to the 2022 census, it had a population of 25,448[2] inhabitants, ranking third within its province, just after Huelva, the capital city and Lepe. With its 859.21 km2 (33174 sq mi), it is the 19th[3] largest municipality in Spain, with a population density of 27/km2. Its elevation is 75 m (246 ft) over sea level and it is 50 km far from Huelva. Almonte is recognised worldwide thanks to the village of El Rocío, which had a great influence in the American Wild West culture[4][5][6] and hosts one of the most popular pilgrimages in the world. Most of the Doñana National Park, which is Europe’s largest natural reserve and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO[7] and the longest beach in Spain,[8][9] which includes the Matalascañas beach, along with two of the Natural Monuments in Andalusia, are also in Almonte.[10] Moreover, it is one of Spain's top organic fruit exporters and the first blueberry exporter in Europe.[11][12][13][14]
