Ayamonte Taxi ServicesAyamonte, unlike many other resorts, is not awash with taxis. In fact at times they are as rare as rocking horse manure. The Spanish have a saying, 'work to live, not live to work'. The local taxi drivers have taken this to a new level. We discovered this for ourselves on one of our early visits to the area. We stayed in an apartment on Isla Canela and caught a taxi to the town for an evening meal. After the meal, around 11.30, we asked the waiter to call a taxi for us. He looked astounded, as if to say 'you want a taxi at this time of night!'.
He then explained it would be impossible to get a cab at this hour. After explaining our plight to him, he told us to sit put & order some more wine. After his shift finished he gave us lift to Isla Canela and wouldn't accept a penny. He still works in El Choco and we visit him on a regular basis these days.
The situation has improved somewhat these days but it can still be difficult to catch a cab, especially late in the evening. During the day when the demand is low you will see loads of taxis at the rank!
