Parador de Ayamonte ****
El Castillo, s/n

Spain

Huelva Province

VANTAGE POINT OVER THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER GUADIANA
The dazzling Huelva sun lights up the blue course of the Guadiana, until it flows out into the waters of the Atlantic. A peaceful refuge in the high quarters of the town, featuring panoramic views, the Parador is a quiet spot ideal for rest. The halls and rooms are fitted with modern facilities which are lit up by the Ayamonte sun and the simple shades of the decor, producing a feeling of calm. Fish, shellfish and all types of sausage are typical of the cuisine, which features ray-fish made with paprika, angler-fish in saffron sauce, pea stew with cuttlefish and Ayamonte-style galette.

Fishes, seafood, sausages You should try the fishes, the seafood, and the varied sausages which this region offers to you. Shrimps and prawns from this area of Spain are of a worlwide acknowledged quality. Enjoy such dishes as rayfish with red pepper, anglerfish, peas with 'chocos' stew, or 'coca ayamontina' (stuffed pie)... not to talk about the exquisite Huelva cured ham.
