Conil de la Frontera

Welcome to Conil de la Frontera

 An ancient fishing town with rich traditions. Excellent surf in its deep waters.

Conil de la Frontera is a popular, low rise resort-cum-fishing-town located on a hillside close to the river Saldao. Conil is one of the few authentic fishing towns left on La Costa de la Luz. In recent years it has become a very popular summer destination, for both national and international tourism. Thankfully, it has managed to preserve its traditions and customs, and this is undoubtedly one of its main attractions. Another attraction for many is the quality of the surf.

Conil beaches regulary enjoy good surf, even on relatively calm days when the flags on the beach are green, there is still fun to be had on the waves.

Three things not to be missed on your next visit:

1. Gallop along the sands: There are few places left where one can gallop along 14 kilometres of unspoiled beaches, but fortunately for all you horse lovers Conil de la Frontera is one of them. So, head over to the nearest riding school and hire a trusty steed for the day. Contact the Tourist office for further information: T: 956 440 500 / 440 501

2. Eat local delicacies: Try "Bocinegro", similar in taste to Sea Bass, in a seafront restaurant called La Chanka on El Palmar beach. You won't be disappointed!

3. Be an early bird and visit the fish market: It is one of the few places where you'll get a chance to see the real Spain. Bring along a pair of earplugs just in case, as the local fishermen don't really understand the concept of a quiet conversation!
