Overview Conil de la Frontera offers holidaymakers traditional Andalusian
flavour, with cobbled streets, the whirl of flamenco dancing,
authentic tapas bars and of course, glorious beaches. Popular with
Spanish tourists, the resort is relatively quiet most of the year
but comes alive in summer when it bustles with activity. There are
also Moorish ruins to explore (though these are tucked away in the
side streets and can be hard to find), chic shops to browse in, and
plenty of excellent seafood restaurants to try. A number of
activities are on offer in Conil de la Frontera for holidaymakers
to enjoy, including diving, surfing, tennis, golf and of course,
sun tanning and swimming. The town also has a lively nightlife,
with a good selection of bars and cafés, and there are
numerous fiestas throughout the year to enjoy. Conil de la Frontera
is the perfect resort for those seeking an authentic Spanish
experience, and remains largely undiscovered by the package
tourist, for now.
Shopping There are a number of popular shops in Conil de la Frontera,
including some chic fashion boutiques, souvenir shops, and
supermarkets. If you don't find what you want in the village, the
San Fernando mall is a short drive away in the direction of
Cadiz.
Restaurants There are many good tapas bars in town, along with pizzerias and
seafood restaurants. Tuna is a local speciality, as it is caught
nearby. Holidaymakers should visit the best restaurants in Conil de
la Frontera, which include Casa Francisco, Restaurant El Olivo, La
Fontanilla and the fantastic pizzeria La Gaviota.
Nightlife Conil de la Frontera has a bustling nightlife compared to some
other Spanish resort towns. There are many bars, clubs and cafes in
the centre of town that stay open late, including popular venues
like Club La Luna, Cafe La Habana and Bar Palo Palo. Other clubs
offering pumping beats that offer a decent night out or that will
keep you on the dance floor until the early hours include Pub
Levante, Disco Carpa Keops, Pubs Makoki and Disco Pub La Villa.
Traditional Spanish house turned bar, La Mulata, is great for those
looking for something different and La Tertulia is also a hip and
happening spot.
Activities Conil de la Frontera is the heart of the surfing community in
Andalusia. The best surfing beach is El Palmar, and Playa Los
Bateles is also well-regarded. Kitesurfing and scuba diving are
popular as well, but those more comfortable with land-based
activities will find good golf courses, Roman ruins to explore, and
a number of activities including horseback riding, mountain biking,
and hiking.
Negatives Strong winds can occasionally disrupt beach activities.
