Tribute to the Nobel Prize-winning poet
Andalucia Tour ~ Huelva (Region)
A beautiful mansion in Moguer (Huelva) commemorates the legacy of the Nobel Prize winner in Literature.
Juan Ramón Jiménez, author of the famous Platero and I, spent most of his childhood and youth in this building. The 19th-century building displays personal items, paintings, photographs, documents and the poet’s entire private and newspaper library, as well as other household items. The two-storey house is in Andalusian style with a large central courtyard.
According to Jiménez's express wish, the museum was originally named "Zenobia" in honor of his wife, the famous translator and writer Zenobia Camprubí.

Another small town closely connected to Columbus
Andalucia Tour ~ Huelva (Region)
Moguer is a town in the La Tirara region, on the banks of the Tinto River, a place deeply involved in the discovery of America, since it was in the Monastery of Santa Clara that Christopher Columbus took his oath of allegiance.
The town is the birthplace of poet and Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez, whose former home has been converted into a museum. It also preserves many interesting monuments, such as the castle fortress, which was originally a Roman villa and later transformed into a farm by the Arabs. The city center was built around this fort. From the perspective of ancient buildings, only two large towers and part of the city wall remain. We must also point out the Gothic-Mudéjar Monastery of Santa Clara, declared a National Monument in 1931, and the Monastery of San Francisco, founded in the 15th century and rebuilt after the Lisbon earthquake.
