OTHER THINGS TO DO:
Try the favourite local pastime of paddle tennis; the open-air courts are just over the road, as is the new sports centre with traditional tennis courts too. Enjoy a splash with boat trips out to sea or up the river. If these do not appeal, then there is crown green bowling, at Isla Canela golf course; swimming of course; or you can enjoy a walk along the beach.
The surrounding area is well known for its ornithological bird life, this area is a natural wildlife haven with its marshland and sea birds.
If fishing is your thing, sea bass and dorada, can be caught from the Isla Canela beach at the mouth of the Guadiana river. Bait can be purchased locally but you will need to bring your own rods and reels.
Other local options are a stroll to the village of Punta del Moral, where a pharmacy and a spanish supermarket nestle in amongst numerous restaurants serving excellent food, including freshly caught fish.
The fabulous gently shelving beach on the Atlantic Ocean, has 7km of sand, is safe and the water is warm enough to swim in from May to October.
5km away is Ayamonte, a typical Andalucian town. Park by the harbour, stroll through the narrow streets to find some of the best restaurants in the region. Traditional markets, cafes, and tapas bars are all open for long hours each day. You can take the ferry to Villa Real de San Antonio in Portugal, have lunch there, returning in time for the shops and bars to open again in Ayamonte.
Several nearby hotels offer internet access, pool tables, restaurants and evening entertainment, with live bands.
For the explorer there is plenty to do and see, the apartment has numerous books and maps of places such as Seville and further afield in Andalucia.
