The Media Maratón Palos de la Frontera runs through the streets of a small port town in Huelva province, famous as the departure point of Columbus's three caravels — the Niña, Pinta and Santa María — on 3 August 1492. Start and finish are set at Plaza Pilar Pulgar, near the bullring. Organized by the town council with local sports clubs, the race is known for its symbolic, very low entry fee.
