Exploring from your holiday apartment in Ayamonte

Ayamonte has always been linked with its position as a major crossing for the Portuguese Spanish border. Although a new motorway bridge was built 2km north of the town in 1991, ferries still transport you across the river to Vila Real in Portugal, from where you can travel on to the resorts of the Algarve. Many of Ayamonte’s streets are pedestrianised and it is a great place to take a walk. There are many small, hidden plazas along the narrow streets, with popular pavement cafes selling the local seafood. Try the elegant cafes of the Plaza de la Laguna for a good choice of menus. Adjacent to the main square is the harbour, or Paseo de la Ribera, where you will find the ferry dock. The 15th century Iglesia de San Salvador has a tower with great views across the river to Portugal and the Isla Canela beach is five minutes away.

Choosing holiday accommodation in Ayamonte

A holiday apartment in Isla de Canela will place you directly on the beach, to the south of the town. This fast-growing resort area boasts a wide, sandy beach with beach bars, plus parasols and hammocks to rent, showers and a nearby golf course.

Isla del Moral is also a great spot to enjoy a drink in the lively bars.

Moving on from Ayamonte
