Huelva is very famous due to its extraordinary and beautiful panoramic views, but it is also true that it has an exquisite gastronomic offering. In the magic triangle of Huelva dining, Huelva strawberries are the third vertex, along with prawns and ham. Huelva is the best and biggest European strawberry producer (you must try the fres\u00f3n de Palos)<\/strong> and this is thanks to the fact that it has 248 hours of sun a month in spring and a very small thermal oscillation between day and night, and, very importantly, fertile lands which means that 95% of this fruit in Spain is from this province. For this and other reasons, we want to tell you everything you need to know about Huelva strawberries.<\/p>\n

How Huelva Strawberries are cultivated<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Before planting strawberries, it is very important to take some things into account. Firstly, the land has to be prepared properly. The main thing is that the soil is weed-free and well fertilised. It should be borne in mind that strawberries are perennial plants and, therefore, produce fruit throughout their life. However, to get quality fruit the crop must be changed every three years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where to plant large and small strawberries?<\/h3>\n

Strawberries need certain basic care and there are two aspects that are very important: temperature, which must be warm, and sun exposure. However, if you are going to plant wild varieties, these must be planted in the shade\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What temperature do strawberries need?<\/h3>\n

Provided that the plant has no fruit, it is beneficial for it for the temperature to be lower than 10 degrees so that it can develop well and produce fruit. Nonetheless, when it starts to fruit, it is important for the temperature to be between 14 and 21\u00baC, and to never falls below 12\u00baC when the fruit is maturing.<\/p>\n
