Conil de la Frontera

Conil de la Frontera is a former fishing village, which has become a popular, low-rise resort. It has good beaches and the streets still have a village feel to them. 

The authentic Spanish fishing town of Conil de la Frontera has approximately 16,000 inhabitants and is situated in the province of Cadiz,
in the autonomous community of Andalusia.

Natural surroundings
Conil de la Frontera and its surrounding landscape
is very diverse, with its beautiful coastline, old town features, undeveloped open countryside which reach to forests and villages dotted here and there. 

Beaches
The area boasts 16 kilometres of long sandy beaches stretched out along the coastline; long, flat beaches with white sands, small sections of beach with cliffs behind them, and small intimate coves for nude bathing at Cala de Aceite. A popular beach is that of Playa de El Palmar, a few
kilometers to the south of Conil de la Frontera. Nearby you can also visit the wonderful beaches of Los Caños de Meca, Barbates and Zahara de los Atunes.

Cuisine
There are heaps of good restaurants in Conil de la Frontera, with lots of good tapas bars, seafood restaurants, pizza and Chinese choices. Typical dishes from the area include Atun Encebollada (tuna cooked with onions) and Chocos con Patatas (cuttlefish with potatoes).

Climate
The mild all-year-round climate makes Conil de la Frontera a popular tourist destination. The region has little rain and more than 3,000 hours of sun a year.

City review

The kindness, the smile of its inhabitants, the bustling activity , the guarded beaches, the sun, the wind, the clean water in the sea, the enormous beaches ,the nice parks for the kids and their parents, the wonderful food (extra fresh fish nuggets, fruits, vegetables, meat...), everything in Conil is just as it should be. I particularly enjoyed the wooden path to reach the seashore with clean unburning feet.Special thanks to the very nice and understanding pharmacist (pharmacy after the Arcos) who did her best to help us enjoy our holidays.

Coast review

Mostly clean around Conil(except on the week ends, when hoards of tourists come, probably from Sevilla). The coast has the most beautiful beaches you can imagine in the Atlantic ocean (after Cornwall, but where it far too cold too swim!). The temperature of the water is about 24 degrees Celcius, so there is no problem to swim. The waves are OK around Conil. Cadiz is a very beautiful city, with much to discover (ex:the Camera Oscura)with a incredible mixture of the Oriental touch with the Latino South American spirit.

City review

Excellent location for this part of Spain. Lots to see and do. Not over run with tourists. Fabulous beaches and good range of cafes, bars and restaurants. Bit concerned about the condition of some poor horses left at the front at Fontanilla.

Beautiful beaches and scenery. Lots to see and do. Felt like the authentic Spain.
