Ayamonte (Spanish pronunciation: [aʝaˈmonte]; Portuguese: Aiamonte) is a town and municipality of Spain belonging to the province of Huelva, Andalusia.

In the municipality are located parts of the megalithic site La Torre-La Janera which is assumed to date back to the 5th millennium BC.

[2] The town was seized away from Muslim control in 1240 during the reign of Sancho II of Portugal, and it was donated afterwards to the Order of Santiago.

[6] In the following century, Catalans and other eastern merchants installed in the town and gave impetus to the local canning and salt industry.

The ferry link between Ayamonte and Vila Real de Santo António was the traditional crossing point between Spain and Portugal.
