Ayamonte is a delightful and picturesque port town, full of life and Spanish tradition. Centuries of history are reflected on each corner of its narrow cobbled streets. There are boutiques, traditional shops, bars, cafes and restaurants to suit every choice. Ayamonte and the surrounding area area is unspoiled, relaxed, traditional and offers a perfect place to relax into the Spanish pace of life in an area delightfully unspoiled by tourism. If you wish for a change of scene, a ferry will take you across the river into Portugal where the town of Villa Real offers the chance to sample similar pleasures to those of Ayamonte, but with a distinctly different Portuguese feel.
