In summer, and thanks to the breeze that envelops the marshes, you can venture out for a few kitesurfing lessons. In winter, taking advantage of the calm of the low season, come to Ayamonte to catch the ferry to Portugal.
All year round, head to any of the many restaurants and bars in the Punta del Moral neighbourhood and treat yourself to fresh fish, coquinas, prawns and the occasional picadillo.
