As of 10am this morning stricter circulation laws have come into place in Ayamonte. Access to the town via the national road N431 is no longer permitted except for authorized vehicles. The roundabout just off the A-22 near the exit to Costa Esuri will have a checkpoint to ensure that all vehicles are on permitted journeys (shop, Pharmacy).
