Latest Ayamonte hotel reviews
Helpfulness
In the "good old days" Ayamonte was famous among the Portuguese for selling seafood at a very cheap price. We Portuguese are better than Spanish cooking seafood, so many people bought there to cook at home. The prices normalised, and today the visitors prefer to eat in location just to taste the different tastes.
Commerce is not so strong anymore, but buying abroad keeps being a temptation.

Portuguese living close to the border go regularly to Spain to fill their tanks. The differences in price are very big, and compensate the extra kilometers needed to refuel.
Even those who travel abroad can't cross the border back to Portugal without a stop to fill, but I think that the other traditional commerce is decreasing.

Ayamonte is "The Gate to Spain". It has a lively trading centre and an important harbour. The town at the Costa de la Luz offers wide sandy beaches and typical southern Spain flair.
