Ayamonte, Port municipality in Costa Occidental, Huelva, Spain
Located at the mouth of the Guadiana River, Ayamonte spans across uneven terrain with slopes, hills, and protected natural areas including Marismas de Isla Cristina.
The settlement changed control between Portuguese and Spanish rule until 1664 when King Felipe IV granted city status, marking its importance as a border settlement.
The Medieval quarter contains religious structures such as Nuestra Señora de las Angustias church and El Salvador Parish Church, representing local architectural development through centuries.
A ferry service continues to connect Ayamonte with Vila Real de Santo António in Portugal, providing an alternative to the international bridge completed in 1991.
The municipality preserves the megalithic site La Torre-La Janera from the 5th millennium BC, indicating early human settlements in this border region.
