A photo of the Hotel Guadiana in Vila Real de Santo António:

I took some photos with my zoom lens whilst the ferry was making its way to the other side of the river, too.

So here's a photo of the Guadiana International Bridge, which is a motorway bridge that connects the two sides of the river, Portugal and Spain:

Image

And some shots of Ayamonte, taken whilst the ferry is making its way to our destination:

Entering Spain.

Here is the EU stars of doom to show you that you are now entering Spanish territory:

The flags of Ayamonte town hall:

Part of Ayamonte's main square:

And a bit more of the town centre:

A glass of Amstel, served in a Guinness glass no less, at a non-descript café (with not particularly good food) near Ayamonte town centre:

Image

A urinating boy is the ornament of this water fountain near the town centre:

A Chinese restaurant:

That's all for this evening… :)

No. Specifically, it's a super-zoom point and shoot camera. So a point and shoot with a few more options on the dial with a long lens - although not very long by today's super zoom lenses. (Some super-zoom lenses are more than 30x).

More photos:

Pasta and meatballs, the meal from that night:

Image

And the fruit salad we had the next morning:

Image

The night before we left: bangers and mash in the British pub-style hotel restaurant. It wasn't cheap and it tasted dreadful:

Image

A cigarette and a glass of beer in the indoor smoking lounge at Faro Airport:
