Final comments
It is a good place to do your Erasmus. There are friendly people, nice beaches in autumn, spring and summer. You can choose the subjects in English if you don't speak Spanish. It is a small town so it is less expensive than other Spanish cities and everything is close to your place of living :)

Personal comments
At first it was a bit difficult to understand people on the streets because in Huelva they speak with Andalusian accent. I needed some time to get accustomed to their speech. In the university all the professors speak clear Spanish so I didn't have any problems.
