The Río Odiel is a river in southwestern Spain , in the autonomous region of Andalusia . It rises in the north of the province of Huelva in the Sierra de Aracena , which belongs to the Sierra Morena , and flows into the Ría de Huelva near the provincial capital Huelva , where it joins the Río Tinto . The Ría de Huelva is a ria on the Atlantic Ocean , into which the waters of the Odiel ultimately get.
In the source area of the Odiel there is a popular campsite. The river is also the namesake for a marshland nature park on its banks , the Parque Nacional Marismas del Odiel . The Odiel used to be navigable as far as Niebla , but its course has been changed.
