Ayamonte - a small cosy border town in Spain

by WanderingFinn - last update: Jan 22, 2007

Arriving at Ayamonte

Map of the Ayamonte area
When in Monte Gordo, Algarve in Portugal, we wanted to visit Spain too as it is only a few kilometres to Spain from Monte Gordo, which actually officially belongs to the area of Vila Real de Santo Antonio (the border town in Portuguese side).

In the Spanish side, Ayamonte is the first town. It belongs to the Andalucia area of Spain.

Walking in cosy Ayamonte

Ayamonte is a cosy little place and it was nice to walk a little bit around its streets.

Portugal-Spain either by driving or by ferry

You can either drive with your car to Spain (no border controls; you don't even stop anywhere in the highway - two European Union countries) or you can take a ferry which takes you and your car over the river which is the border between Portugal and Spain.

Pros:"Cosy little border town, not made for tourists"
Cons:"Mainly a pass-by place, nothing to see for a longer time"
In A Nutshell:"A dive to Spain just in minutes"
