Ayamonte, Isla Canela and Costa Esuri

The charming town of Ayamonte is set on the mouth of the Guadiana River that borders Spain and Portugal. It has a rich cultural heritage and there are many events and activities to see and do throughout the whole year.

In the centre of the town is the old medieval district that is packed with historic buildings, monuments and narrow streets. This part is pedestrianised so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll discovering the small pretty tiled plazas full of lively pavement cafes. At the bustling restaurants you can sample the catch of the day, then enjoy a walk to look at the boats in the harbour or mingle with the locals and have coffee in the plaza.

Isla Canela is modern resort on a natural island connected by a road bridge to Ayamonte. A nature reserve surrounds the area with many species of birds and wildlife. With over 7 kilometres of golden sand you can be sure to find your own bit of paradise to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. It has a stylish marina where there are a range of chic shops and restaurants; here you can also hire a boat or a jet ski to explore the beautiful coastline. If you fancy a game of golf there is an 18-hole course to practise your swing on. Or if you prefer a more leisurely activity have a cool drink at the marina whilst watching the activity of the boats and enjoying the wonderful view.

Costa Esuri is an impressive modern resort built around two fantastic championship golf courses. It's set on the outskirts of Ayamonte in an area of natural beauty overlooking the Guadiana River making it an idyllic spot to play golf. This stunning place has lots of other leisure facilities to keep all the family entertained including shops, restaurants and sports areas.

As Portugal is so close take the opportunity to visit and go on one of the regular boat trips across the river.
