Cartaya is a Spanish locality and municipality in the Province of Huelva (autonomous community of Andalusia). In 2010 it had 18,415 inhabitants. Its surface area is 226.4 km2 and has a density of 81.34 people per km2.

The present town of Cartaya was founded in the 15th Century by the Marquis of Gibraleón, D. Pedro de Zúñiga. Its name comes from the Phoenician word "Carteia", meaning city, which implies that the site had been settled much earlier. Traces have been found dating from the late Roman Empire - when it was an important communications hub between East and West - and there is evidence of farmsteads from the early medieval period.

The municipality's economy is mainly based on the primary sector. However, more recent development has been encouraged in the service sector focused on the leisure and tourism. The per capita income is high in comparison to the neighboring municipalities. The settlements of El Rompido and Nuevo Portil, along with the numerous developments that emerged in recent decades, have contributed to significant population growth.

Among the area's noteworthy attractions are: the former Convent of the Blessed Trinity; the Parish Church; the Hermitage of Santa María de Consolación; the Castle of the Zuñiga; and 4 kilometers of beaches (El Rompido, San Miguel Beach, Nuevo Portil beach and the westernmost part of El Portil).

Toponym

The toponym Cartaya seems to be of Phoenician origin: Qart or Carteia, meaning The City.[2] In the Andalusian period, it was referred to by the name qarqaya, phonetically very similar to the present. Cartaya should not be confused with Libertinorum Carteia in San Roque.

Symbols

Shield

The municipal blazon is:

Of gules, the golden castle of vert abjured sustained natural mount, and this sustained of silver and azure waves. On both sides of the castle, two mace-bearers.

It was approved by decree of 21 July 1972 and published in the BOE on 24 August that year.[3]

Flag

The municipal flag was adopted at the plenary municipal meeting of 10 August 1998[3] and it has the following description:

Red with six bands in the low, three white and three blue. Centered and superimposed local arms.

Physical geography

Situation

Cartaya is located 26 km west of Huelva and 112 km from Seville.

Location
Comarca of the Costa Occidental de Huelva.

The municipality of Cartaya is located in the southwest of the province of Huelva. It lies on the estuary of the Piedra river, which forms the southern and eastern edge of the territory. The main settlement of Cartaya is situated upstream on the east bank of the Piedra. The smaller settlements of El Rompido is further upstream, on the estuary itself, while El Portil – which partially belongs to Punta Umbría – is right at the river-mouth, on the Atlantic coast.

The municipality covers an area of 226.4 km2[4] with an average altitude of 26 masl.[4]

Bordering populations

The nearest town is Lepe, five miles to the west on the other side of the river Piedra. To the northeast is Gibraleón and to the south-east is Punta Umbría, which separated from the municipality of Cartaya in the 1960s.

Northwest: Sanlúcar de Guadiana and Villanueva de los Castillejos North: Villanueva de los Castillejos Northeast: Gibraleón
West: Lepe East: Gibraleón, Aljaraque and Huelva
Southwest Lepe South: Atlantic Ocean Southeast: Punta Umbría

Orography

The urban core is near the eastern bank of the river Piedra. Positioned at the river mouth in the village of El Rompido. Radically is the most interior zone of pine groves and small elevations that make it more abrupt. The relief of the region can be categorized into three main types. The fluvial-coastal zone includes the floodplain of the river down to and including the Atlantic coastline and San Miguel Beach. The wooded zone is made up of pine groves and low hills. The remaining part of the region is made up of fields.

The soil is composed of gravel and conglomerates of detritic coverages, glacis and erosion of hillsides. Most of the orography was formed in the Quaternary Period, although the higher ground shows outcrops of Paleozoic shale.

One of the most distinctive features of the landscape is the long peninsula known as the "Arrow of Nueva Umbría". Possession of this narrow strip of land is a source of dispute between the municipalities of Lepe and Cartaya.[5][6] Another local landmark is the Lagoon of El Portil[7].

Hydrology

The principal river is the Piedra, which forms the boundary between the municipalities of Cartaya and Lepe. The river's source is in the municipality of El Almendro, although many tributary streams rise in the municipality of Villanueva de los Castillejos. At one time, the river mouth was by the village of El Rompido, whose name derives from the ocean waves breaking against the river sediment. However, the sediments deposited by the river have built up over time in an easterly direction, giving rise to features such as the "Arrow of Nueva Umbria" and the Lagoon of El Portil.

The water supply of Cartaya municipality comes from the Chanza Reservoir, situated in another municipality.

Ecology

Flora

There are 12,000 hectares of forest in the area; mostly pine, juniper, new plantations of eucalyptus trees and some smaller areas of evergreen oaks and cork oaks. Along with the marshland areas of the "Marshes of the River Piedra" and the "Arrow of Nueva Umbria",[11] these make up the most important srea of semi-virgin land on the Andalusian coast.[11]

The "Arrow of Nueva Umbria" is an unusual habitat, formed by the effects of winds and tides on the river sediments. It contains three main ecosystems: dune, retama, and marsh. Due to the conditions, very few plants can thrive there. Typical flora includes sea holly, beach grass, white retama, mastic, and other salt-tolerant vegetation.

History

Prehistory

There is little prehistoric archaeological evidence in the area. Around the mouth of the Piedra, small pieces of Lower Paleolithic stone tools have been found: mostly early acheulean deposits (edges, some bifaces and beaks)[12] or Mousterian deposits from the Middle Paleolithic.[12] There seems to have been no connection between the populations living by the Piedra, the Odiel and the Tinto. The first historical evidence of settlement in Cartaya dates to the Phoenician period.

Romanization

Although Cartaya and the nearby coast (where there are many discoveries of shipwrecks) were probably settled by the Phoenicians, the area developed significantly under the Romans. Within the Roman Empire, this area formed part of the Beturia Celtic orTurdula region in the senatorial province of Hispania Baetica.[13] Cartaya found itself close to the Roman road linking the cities of Praesidio and Ad Rubras[14]. This was an area dedicated to the pottery industry - especially the manufacture of amphorae - which may have been destined for the settlement of Punta Umbría or Onuba Aesturia.[15]

In the later Roman period, the Visigoths arrived in Iberia. However - in common with most of the Huelva region - Cartaya shows little significant evidence of their presence.

Middle Ages

Situation of the Taifa of Huelva in the peninsula towards the 11th century.

During the time of Al-Andalus, these lands were known as Cashtm. At first, Cashtm was part of the Cora of Labla, belonging to Għarb al-Andalus. After the fall of the Caliphate of Córdoba in 1012, it joined to the Taifa of Huelva. When the Taifa of Huelva also disappeared, it joined to the Taifa of Seville in 1052.

In 1262, Alfonso X the Wise captured the cities of Niebla and Huelva and the region came once again under Christian rule.[16] The province of Huelva became an important frontier territory - part of the "Banda Gallega" which was formed to prevent the eastward expansion of Portugal. By 1269, the border between Cartaya and Lepe had been fixed as the river Piedra. From topographical maps it appears that the Piedra, at that time, met the sea at the present-day site of El Rompido.

Otrosí mandamos a Maestre Fernán García [...] que partiesen los términos entre Gibraleón e Ayamonte e ellos partieronlos e pisieron los moxones de esta guisa. Como caye el río de las Piedras en la Mar e va derechamente arriba e sacude a la Alcaria de Mertola e de esta Alcaria a Moxon cubierto hasta Guadiana.

— Según copia de D. Corpas González, 1917.[17]

Modern era

Coat of arms of the Zuñiga's family, who founded the presnt town of Cartaya in the 15th century.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, the territory of Cartaya came under the rule of the house of Zuñiga. Against the opposition of Alfonso de Guzmán, lord of Ayamonte and Lepe, Don Pedro de Zuñiga y Manrique de Lara won the right to establish a ferry across the river Piedra. In doing so, he founded the town of Cartaya to defend the crossing against attacks by Berber and Norman pirates.[18] Seven years later, he gave the town greater permanence by ordering the construction of a castle and a church. The original church was built in the Mudéjar style; it was later replaced by the present parish chuch of San Pedro. The imposing castle still stands on the western edge of the town. The house of Zuñiga consolidated its power in lower Andalusia through Don Pedro's descendant, Álvaro de Zúñiga. His eldest son acquired the neighboring territories of Lepe and La Redondela as a dowry when he married the daughter of Juan Alfonso de Guzmán III of Ayamonte.[18]

Cartaya's port of La Ribera soon became important. By 1509, ships from Cartaya were fishing in Cape Spartel and Cape Bojador to supply fish for Seville. Transport ships were travelling as far afield as Flanders to engage in cabotage and commerce, including the wine and grain trades.[19] Although the local shipyards were building caravels as early as the 15th century, this industry never really grew to national importance. This was partly because of the perceived poor quality of the local wood, which led ships from the Gulf of Cádiz to be banned from sailing to the Americas. Cartaya never became as important to Spain's maritime empire as some nearby towns, such as Palos de la Frontera or Moguer. Nonetheless, local sailors took part in the famous voyages of Christopher Columbus. Records list the names Talafar, Vizcaino and Alonso Rodríguez on board the first voyage of Columbus.[20]. The same three appear to have returned on the Second Columbian expedition, where they are named as Rodrigo Calafar (aboard the caravel La Niña), Alonso Rodríguez (sailing on the San Juan), and Juan Vizcaíno (on the Cardera).[21]

During this period, the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy founded a convent in the area, as it had in other places nearby. Despite this, the local population seems to have declined. Some villages, such as San Miguel de Arca de Buey (close to present-day El Rompido) disappeared altogether. One cause may have been the plague epidemic of 1602.[22]

In later centuries - especially the 18th century - population began to rise again, and Cartaya expanded greatly in size. This was despite the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which must have caused widespread damage to local buildings (including the convent).

Contemporary era

Convent of the Blessed Trinity.
View of the former almadraba in front of El Rompido. The tuna fishing attracted numerous Portuguese population and of other places of Spain that, finally, ended up taking root.

Between 1804 and 1808, it belonged to the Sanlúcar de Barrameda's maritime Province and the kingdom of Seville up to the new administrative division of 1833,[23] it ended being included in the new province of Huelva.

In the last third of the century, the village of El Rompido arises. Though previously, other small settlements had existed in the river mouth of the Piedra, during these years it began to work an almadraba on "the other side" of the river. As terrestrial communications with Cartaya had to be made from the left bank of the river, families were settled in the current core. These families were usually formed by men of foreign origin, many of them were coming from neighboring Portugal, with women from Cartaya. Portuguese surnames as Almeida or Brito are still common in the zone.[24]

20th century and 21st century

In 1963, there was segregation of the core of Punta Umbría. In the face of the demands of this due to its remoteness to the core and its tourism and economic growth,[25] the City Council had launched a dossier requesting to the Council of Ministers the revocation of the Decree of 15 January 1959 that its segregation of the core was accorded counterfoil. Finally, the negotiations were unsuccessful and Punta Umbría became a new locality of the province with a border scarcely to eight kilometers from El Rompido 26 April 1963. Thereafter, it proposed El Portil as a space for its tourist dynamization. In 1968, it approved a revitalization plan[26] that resulted in unsuccessful propitiated scarcely a slight development of the zone.

With the arrival of democracy and the promulgation of the Spanish Constitution of 1978, Cartaya, as a whole the state, obtained new competitions and it experimented with an important development placing between one of the localities most populated in the province of Huelva at present.

The population is of 18,415 people in 2010, composed of 9,508 men and 8,907 women. The growth in recent years has been significant, doubling the actual population that existed at the end of the 1980s. In the 1960s, it decreased significantly the census because, in 1963, it became free the village of Punta Umbría from Cartaya.[28]

Population pyramid

The analysis of the population pyramid shows the following:

  • The 20-year-old minor population is 23% of the total population.
  • The population understood between 20–40 years is 37%
  • The population understood between 40–60 years is 26%
  • The 60-year-old major population is 14%

This population structure is typical in modern demographic regime, with an evolution towards an aging population and a decrease of the annual birth rate.

Immigrants

The foreign population registered in 2009 adds 3,197 inhabitants, that it represents a percentage of 17% of census, very superior to the national and regional average, being the most numerous nationalities the Moroccan (876 inhabitants), the Romanians (1003) and the Ecuadorian (120).[30]

Local Administration

The political administration of the municipality is realized through a City Council democratically management whose members are elected every four years by universal suffrage. The electoral census is composed by all the residents registered in Cartaya over 18 years and natives of Spain and of other countries members of the European Union.

According to the Law of the General Electoral Regime,[31] which establishes the number of councilors elected on the basis of the population of the municipality, Cartaya's Municipal Corporation is composed of 17 councilors. In the last Municipal Elections celebrated in 2007, Juan Antonio Millán Jaldón was re-elected mayor, being the constitution of the City Council the following one:

Economy

Business activity and employment

In 2008, there were in the municipality, a total of 1,105 companies, of which 990 had a workforce of less than 5 workers, 91 companies had a workforce between 6 and 19 workers and, only, 24 companies had a staff of more than 20 workers.[33] With the current economic crisis that is occurring in Spain, it is possible that the data corresponding to the present (2010) are considerably lower than that digits because there are many companies which are ceasing their activities.[34]

Cartaya also belongs to the Mancomunidad of Municipalities Beturia for what this one as the region in which integration takes place several initiatives to promote economic development.[35] One of these was the creation of the School of Business of Cartaya (ULOPA) that is responsible for local economic dynamization.[36]
