Team UAE's Ayuso fell out of the running for the overall race Thursday, despite being among the pre-race favorites. Ayuso later said he had not planned to compete for the overall title anyway, and made an early attack here.
Ayuso, perhaps upset at not being chosen as his team's leader for the race behind Almeida, flexed his muscles on the mountainous 188-kilometer run from Andorra La Vella to Spanish village Cerler, one of the race's toughest stages.
He formed part of the day's break that contained Stage 6 winner Jay Vine and Mads Pedersen, among others, with 140 kilometers remaining.
The break stayed clear, with Bahrain Victorious and Traen happy to let them stay up the road.
Two-time Tour de France winner Vingegaard, favorite to win the race, and his likely closest rival Almeida, were content to hang back in the peloton.
Ayuso attacked with 11 kilometers remaining, and although Marco Frigo bridged the gap, the Spaniard dumped the Israel Premier Tech rider with a second burst.
The 22-year-old crossed the finish line with his fingers in his ears. Frigo came in second, one minute, 15 seconds behind Ayuso, while Arkea's Raul Garcia Pierna secured third.
Ayuso's stage win was his first in the race and a second in a Grand Tour, following a victory at the Giro d'Italia earlier this year.
"I think it was one of my best wins, considering the difficulty," said Ayuso, who foraged alone for the first hour, waiting for riders to join him to create the break. "I had to do the first hour of the race by myself... I think I was able to do a very good job and finish it off...
"It's amazing... to win a stage here in the Vuelta. It's my favorite race. I'll always remember it, and I'm very proud."
Almeida made a bid to gain some time on his rivals, but Vingegaard, Traen, 2023 Vuelta champion Sepp Kuss and others caught up with relative ease.
"It was a decent day in total, it was not an easy day," said Visma-Lease a Bike's Vingegaard. "We want to still try to save our energy a bit, so we decided not to do anything today. We want to save the team for the second and third week."
Traen holds a lead of two and a half minutes on Vingegaard at the top of the GC standings.
After back-to-back mountain stages, riders will get some relief Saturday, as a relatively flat Stage 8 stretches 163.5 kilometers from Monzon Templario to Zaragoza.
