Niebla, municipality of Spain
Niebla is a small municipality in Huelva Province in Andalusia, situated in hilly terrain near the southern coast of Spain. The town centers on a historic core with narrow streets, traditional houses, and remnants of fortifications that shape its layout.
The town has medieval roots and changed hands between Christian and Muslim rulers, with each period leaving marks on its buildings and defenses. The structures visible today reflect these successive layers of occupation and control.
The small size makes it easy to explore on foot, though the narrow streets require a slower pace and careful navigation. Early morning or late afternoon visits tend to be more comfortable, especially during the hotter months.
The name possibly comes from an Arabic word meaning mist or fog, reflecting the humid air of this coastal area. This connection between the name and the natural landscape adds a layer of meaning to the place.
