[RECAP] Ayamonte World Wide Map Edit Walk V2

[AlejandraMaria]

This time we have joined the fantastic initiative from HelloSamsonR and participating in the Vol2 edition of the World Wide Map Edit Walk.

I live in Ayamonte, a small town in the South of Spain on the Border with Portugal. There is a natural border, the Guadiana River. There are two different ways of crossing it: by car, driving over the International Bridge or by ferry. The last one was the option we choose.

I was the only one attendee with two of my three kids, Luisita prefered to be working with her daddy :)))

We bought the tickets and took the ferry. It takes 15 mins to travel from Ayamonte (Spain) to Vila Real do Santo Antonio (Portugal).

Once you take off the ferry you can see the lovely marina Vila Real have, and I really like this restaurant with fantastic views.

I started to add new places to Google Maps. Traditionally, this side of the River sells towels, sheets … household clothes.

My Mini Local Guides had an immense patience and I invited them to a snack and this is the place and what they choose :)))

We noticed that the Ferry can be used by people with reduced mobility.

We didn’t see anything special about recycling like wastebaskets with different compartments… extrange because Portugal usually is ahead Spain on this topic…

And… we returned back to Ayamonte. There are two differents boats crossing the river Guadiana, one Portugesse and other Spanish. I prefer the Spanish one because there is a terrace upstairs and you feel more inmerse and surrounded by water because we are in the mouth to the Atlantic Ocean.

On the right side of the photo is Ayamonte (Spain), on the left side is Vila Real do Santo Antonio (Portugal).

We had a really good time.

Many many thanks for taking your time and reading this Recap :)))

Good Afternoon from the South of Spain,

[AlejandraMaria]

Thank you very much @HelloSamsonR to you for creating the World Wide Meet-ups :)))))

I was the only one, but I could add more places and take more photos than when I am in multitudinaria meet-ups :)))))

Each option has its pros and cons.

I liked to be just with my kids

We would love to have you in the next World Wide Meet-up @TorM !

Hi @AlejandraMaria

What a beautiful experience to travel by ferry. A fun family event for you and your mini Local Guides.

The Guadiana River is a lovely place for this trip for you all to make the most of a very pleasant day with the sun shining looks like a gorgeous time for all.

All the clothes and linen shops plus many more interesting places that you took this Google Maps Local Guides Connect World Wide Map Edit walk to explore and update pictures plus information, there is some great shopping ventures by the river.

Looking through the window on the ferry plus more great photos getting to see your favourite restaurant from the open terrace upstairs on the Spanish ferry.

With other stylish boats around as well, all looks like a very enjoyable place to live.

Such an endearing, enchanting water-scape opening out to the mouth to the Atlantic Ocean.

Thank you for sharing the fun with us.

Best wishes

@Justine2807

Hi @Justine2807 !

Many thanks for this incredible feedback :))))

If one day you will come to visit the South of Spain, we will make a special trip through the Guadiana River, we can go river up and find beautiful towns in both sides :))))

Thank you very much for sharing on Google + and Blogger, I will chek it :)))

Good Afternoon from the South of Spain, on the Border with Portugal.

@AlejandraMaria , thank you so much for presenting us a beautiful recap. How was the weather doring the meetup? It seems like sunny.

One thing, I see the photo of a place, where you went for snack, not appearing on the post. Can you please adjust it?

[MuhannadK]

Thank you very much @AlejandraMaria sharing the details and the trip … its so nice to see the place by your eyes …

And true … it worth to think of a trip to the north by ferry … how long it will take to Viana do Castelo or around it? Looks long trip but lifetime one as well …

Have a wonderful time

[AlejandraMaria]

Hi @BishowvijayaP !

Thank you very much for your constructive feedback :))))

I think you are talking about this photo where we had the snack that I added to the Shared Album;)))

Is this the one you have on mind???

I hope one day I could invite you to a snack :))))

We are on summer season and the weather is nice, around 30 ºC. Perfect for going to the Beach and swim in the Atlantic Ocean, this is what I have done this afternoon :))))

Good Evening from the South of Spain; on the border with Portugal,

Alejandra.

[AlejandraMaria]

Hi @MuhannadK !

There isn’t a Ferry to take you to Viana do Castelo (this is a town in the North of Portugal). You have to go on a private boat. For example, I am thinking on a sailing boat… It will take around a week with good weather conditions.
There are some Ferrys that dock in Ayamonte and come from Seville and is a nice way to discover the Coast of Light. …
Another big ones, cruise ships stop in Cádiz…
I have travelled from South to North of Portugal by car, there are highways. Lisbon is really nice
There are chip domestic flights from Faro to Oporto operated by Ryanair…
I don´t know what you have on mind… tell me and I will help you to plan it

Many many thanks for your comment.

Good Evening from the South of Spain,

Alejandra.

@AlejandraMaria That’s a nice presentation, it definitely seems like a nice day out for a Local Guide with the weather being nice and calm. I noticed you had two children with you and very considerate of them to head out with you and explore, I am teaching my children Google maps every day we have a2 x1.5 Map on the wall. I think its a life tool learning Google Maps and one to always remember thanks @AlejandraMaria take care.

[Sagir]
