Lepe is famous as the strawberry capital of Spain, and unfortunately its inhabitants are also the butt of Spanish jokes. Lepe is a small market town West of Huelva, the capital of Huelva Province.

It is quite a surprise to realise that Lepe was founded by the Phoenicians, approximately 2,400 years ago. As to the origins of the name of Lepe, there are as many opinions as there are experts to offer one. Moslem and Jewish cultures were present in the history of Lepe until the 15th century AD.

The beaches in Lepe extend for 8 kilometres of fine, golden sand with clean and clear waters basking in 3,000 hours of sun a year. The coast within Lepe's municipal district is rich and diverse. When the tide recedes, it is more than enjoyable to go for a long walk.

Lepe is a village enjoying many festivals plus a very important fair, the Agrocosta - one which attracts all of the Onubense (the ancient name of Huelva) agricultural sectors. Holy Week (Semana Santa) is a huge festival in Lepe.
