Ayamonte
behoudt zijn oude middeleeuwse wijk in de centrale wijk van de stad, met veel zeer smalle straatjes en historische gebouwen; Dit centrale gebied is een aangewezen auto-vrije zone. De koppeling van de veerboot tussen Ayamonte en Vila Real de Santo António was eeuwenlang het traditionele snijpunt tussen Spanje en Portugal. Een moderne brug over de rivier de Guadiana is nu opgebouwd ten noorden van de stad, koppeling van de systemen van de snelweg van de twee landen, maar de veerboot nog loopt en zorgt voor een goedkope wijze van vervoer tussen de twee landen. Het strand van Ayamonte is Isla Canela, en wordt bereikt door een dam over de Marismas del Guadiana; de marismas (zoutmoerassen) zijn een belangrijke wildlife reserve, verstrekken van een huis aan vele watervogels, met inbegrip van reigers en flamingo's. Isla Canela is gebouwd langs enkele kilometers van zandstranden, en biedt een ideaal gebied voor kitesurfen, windsurfen en zeilen. Er zijn een aantal golfbanen
. The township of Ayamonte preserves its old medieval quarter in the central district of the town, with many very narrow streets and historical buildings; this central area is a designated car-free zone.
For centuries the ferry link between Ayamonte and Vila Real de Santo António was the traditional crossing point between Spain and Portugal. A modern bridge over the Guadiana River has now been built to the north of the town, linking the motorway systems of the two countries, but the ferry still runs and provides an inexpensive mode of transport between the two countries.
The beach area of Ayamonte is Isla Canela, and is reached by a causeway across the Marismas del Guadiana; the marismas (salt marshes) are an important wildlife reserve, providing a home to many waterfowl, including herons and flamingos. Isla Canela is built along several kilometers of sandy beaches, and provides an ideal area for windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing. There are a number of quality golf courses in and around the area, including one built into the Marismas itself.
The city, is also famous for his local festivities, the "Fiestas de las Angústias" in honor of their patron "Nuestra Señora de las Angústias". The festivities in the beginning of September are a moment of celebration not only from the Ayamontin population, but also for many Andalucians, and Portuguese. The festivities are graced by the local band, "Banda Ciudad de Ayamonte" and the Portuguese "Banda da Sociedade Filarmónica Progresso e Labor Samouquense" from the Portuguese village of Samouco.
The Costa Esuri development is just to the north of Ayamonte. It was an ambitious development built by the Galicia (Spain) based developer, Martinsa-Fadesa that stalled as a result of global Financial crisis of 2007–08. Many properties were left unfinished, but because of the steep reduction in price, the development is starting to have the success that was always expected. The development features two golf courses, though only the west course is open. A hotel that was planned remains unfinished
