Eight kilometres of beach make the City of Light, as it is known, one of the most popular tourist destinations. In Ayamonte you can bathe in Isla Canela, a natural paradise full of dunes and beaches with clear waters, with facilities for surfing or windsurfing. Golf and cycling routes are also available. Or go for a swim in Punta del Moral, an old fishing village that is now a tourist centre, also a good choice for water sports.
Its proximity to Portugal makes it convenient for a trip to the neighbouring villages on the Portuguese coast, which you can reach by crossing the Guadiana International Bridge, one of the longest in Spain and the longest in Portugal at 666 metres.
The Parador de Ayamonte is the perfect place to rest after a long day of sightseeing and beaches. From its swimming pool you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over the mouth of the Guadiana, and contemplate the beautiful white houses of Ayamonte while you dine in the restaurant.
Ayamonte is one of the most important towns in Huelva. Its extensive historical past is still alive in the outlines of its town centre, full of indiano houses, shrines and Mudejar churches, large squares and a busy seaport. The Marismas de Isla Cristina Nature Reserve is nearby and may be reached on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.
Ayamonte’s location next to the border means that you can visit the coast of Portugal by crossing the Guadiana International Bridge. On the other side of the river, we find unique villages of the Portuguese Algarve such as Alcoutim or Castro Marim.
River Cruise on the Guadiana River
See for yourself the incomparable landscape offered by the lower course of the Guadiana. A very unique crossing between Spain and Portugal that gives us an exclusive opportunity to learn about the river ecosystem. Its combination of salt and fresh waters means that there are banks with lush vegetation that host a great variety of flora and fauna, such as different types of birds, grey herons, storks, spoonbills, etc.
Doñana National Park
The Doñana Natural Reserve is deemed one of the most important nature reserves in Europe. A key crossroad for birds migrating between the African and European continents, it is also the last refuge for many endangered species. Doñana is undoubtedly the natural area with the greatest biodiversity in Europe, and birds constitute the most numerous and important group in this area.
