What to expect

Perched on the banks of the River Guadiana that separates Portugal and Spain, Ayamonte blends the best of both countries' cultures. Learn more about Andalusian charm and delicious cuisine on this tour of an Iberian gem. Lucia, one of the local expert guides, says, “exploring Ayamonte is like stepping back in time while tasting the best of Iberia today.”

Located just a stone's throw from the border, arriving in the Spanish town, you'll get an impressive view of Portugal's Castro Marim castle – a remnant of the centuries of war between the two. Delve deeper into the history here with a guided tour of the medieval quarter and admire the traditional blue and white tiles at every turn.

After free time to sip coffee in the square, shop the boutiques or rummage for trinkets and treasures in the marketplace, you'll be ready for lunch. Stop by Vive Ayamonte gastro-shop and a seafood feast of tasty tapas, traditional paella and wine awaits. What's more, it's all served up with a side order of fantastic flamenco entertainment in their beautiful courtyard.
