Ayamonte

Hello, people! We have been really busy with the remainder of the summer and enjoying the city. The best things about the summer is that Fernando doesn't have to work in the afternoons, I don't work, and the sun is shining. We really take advantage of our summer months!

These are a few more pictures of our summer vacation. We were able to go to Ayamonte, a neighboring town next to Isla Canela.

There's a small zoo that has glass paneling, so you can get a very upclose view of the dangerous animals.
Fernando and Paloma check out the stripes on this bad boy.
I fell in love with this church, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias (Church of Our Lady of Sorrows), which was built in the 16th century.
The main body of the church is aligned with side chapels separated by arches.
One of the gilt altars of the chapels.
The town has a beautiful old medieval quarter with many narrow streets.
The tiles add a nice decorative touch.
The style of this bank's facade is reminiscent of Moorish times.
The main square at night.Unlike this picture shows, families with small children (including us) were still swarming the city streets around 11pm.
The decorative tiles align the square.
My favorite things to do in Spain - open-air meals on the terrace and enjoying the passers-by.
Good night, Ayamonte!
