Parador Hotel Ayamonte

This Parador is a quiet spot ideal for rest with panoramic views of the flood plains of the Guadiana river, the border between Spain and Portugal.

The halls and rooms are fitted with modern facilities which are lit up by the Ayamonte sun causing the simple shades of the decor to produce a feeling of peace.

The regional specialties served in the restaurant of this Parador are fishes, crustaceans and sausages. The area is also famous for its cured ham and the local shrimps and prawns.

Try the following: "Raya en pimenton" - ray with red pepper sauce,
"rape en amarillo" anglerfish;
"estofado de guisantes con chocos" which is a cuttle fish and pea dish;
”coca ayamontina” which is an almond flavoured sweet;

Local places of interest to visit include the San Francisco temple, the church of Nuestra Senora de las Angustias, and the Salvador church in Ayamonte.

The Guadiana river is particularly beautiful and the opportunity should be taken to have a cruise up it while staying at this hotel.

The coastal area is low lying and of particular interest to nature lovers since many species of birds rest in the area whilst on their migrations.

Important religious days are an excuse for a 'festa' following the religious service. The parades at Easter and Carnival (Shrove Tuesday) should be seen. The local feast day of Nuestra Senora de las Angustias is celebrated on September 8th.

In addition there is the International Music Festival which takes place in August each year.
