El Rompido is a coastal borough in the municipality of Cartaya located in the province of Huelva in Andalusia, Spain.

Evidence of human settlement in El Rompido dates back the paleolithic era at the mouth of the Río Piedras.

Tourism is El Rompido's primary industry, having slowly been built up in the beginning in the 1960s, and a more recent, sharp upturn occurring in the second decade of the 21st-century.

The economy also used to rely on fishing as it is on the coast, next to a spit flecha-de Nueva Umbria (English: Arrow of El Rompido) separated by the Río Piedras.

Fishing was, for a long time, the key part of life in El Rompido with boats still docked on the beach today, primarily cflatfish and shrimp.
