Modern hotel with river views (4*)
This Parador is set high on a hill above the seaside frontier town of Ayamonte, with magnificent views across the River Guadiana to Portugal and out towards the Atlantic. The Parador de Ayamonte has everything you could need for a quiet, relaxing break. Contemporary in style, Ayamonte’s Parador is built with the objective of taking advantage of its fantastic riverside location. The Parador’s bar and terrace both permit guests to enjoy the spectacular scenery and an outdoor pool provides respite on warmer days. Spacious and airy, the use of large windows throughout the Parador makes for a very bright and welcoming interior.
Guest rooms are similarly light and decorated in a contemporary style. These often use nautical touches and colour schemes in keeping with the town’s coastal position and atmosphere. The modern style of the Parador de Ayamonte belies the fact that the building occupies an area where an ancient Roman castle once stood towering over the river. It is this history, along with its prime setting and peaceful atmosphere that makes the Parador a popular choice.
Ayamonte is a quiet fishing town located on the Guadiana River overlooking the Portuguese border. It takes its name from the Greek ‘Anapotaman’ meaning ‘over the river’, a perfect description of the Ayamonte. The pretty white houses and riverside location make for a picturesque setting, and visitors can take advantage of the stunning views out across the river and over to Portugal. The seaside location guarantees that you are never more than a short drive away from one of Huelva’s stunning kilometre-long beaches, which are lined with pinewood and beautiful sandy dunes. Proximity to the river and sea ensures a plethora of water-based activities with boat trips along the Portuguese border being one of the most popular excursions. The nearby coastal towns of Isla Cristina and Isla de Moral are great choices for beach-lovers, each boasting expansive sandy coastlines with plenty of sunshine. Ayamonte is also a great base for visiting the nearby golf courses at Isla Caneda, the Islantilla Golf Resort and the Golf Club El Rapido.
For culture-seekers, Ayamonte itself has plenty to offer in terms of beautiful architecture and historic buildings. The San Salvador and San Francisco churches are of particular note, hailing from the 15th and 16th centuries respectively, both have towers which benefit from spectacular views over neighbouring Portugal. The eco-museum Molino El Pintado is an interesting feature point occupying a former 18th century mill. The museum itself features the history of the mill and Ayamonte. The Plaza de La Laguna is an excellent dining spot with many restaurants providing outdoor seating. Ayamonte is surrounded by protected nature points and the Guadiana marshes are home to a variety of birdlife and wildlife. The area has plenty to offer in terms of seafood, beaches, nature and culture, a lovely Spanish gem.
