There are 2 bike shops that I know of in Ayamonte, one near Aerials Guadiana on ferry the road. The other is along at the other end of town on the right coming in past bus depot just down from garage roundabout. Mine was bought in Decathlon Sevilla and has given me no problems. Also on Facebook 'anything and everything Ayamonte ' I think it is called, there were bikes for sale down in Isla Canela Jur's place ?

We looked in the bike shops in Ayamonte but there wasn't much of a choice. It really depends on how much you want to spend. You could pick something up in Carrefour for about €100, but if you want something better I would go to Lepe.
There are 2 or 3 bike shops in Lepe. As you drive in there is one on the right hand side. There is another one just further on ( from that shop you go past it and then turn right then left). That's where we got a couple of good bikes for about €350 each and he delivered the following day for an extra €10. I think we saw a third shop last time we went and I think it was on the main road in, but I can't be certain where.
Hope this helps

Mike and I bought two good bikes from the sports shop in the Gran Plaza Tavira, about 80/90 euro each.

I too bought one in tavira, same place. Good selection and reasonable with someone who knows their bikes behind the counter also. I purchased one also across from the bus station. It's the shop linked to the car repair shop, forgotten the chaps name sorry.

I know Bicilandia (the rent-a-bike place in Punto del Moral) is going to close very soon. May be they will be interested in selling you one.

Next to the motorway just past the last Huelva turn from Ayamonte. There is also one behind Forum Algarve in Faro.

The nearest/easiest motorway junction for Decathlon (which has a large selection of bikes and everything else you might need for the sporty life) is J81 signed for La Ribera and the Pentitentiary!

We have been to both branches and the one in Huelva is bigger and hence has more choice.
