This small town is fast becoming popular with summer tourists. However, it is still a typical Andalucian town with narrow cobbled streets, tapas bars and an open air market at weekends and pavement cafes around the main plazas.

Another spectacular beach, a wide bay of brilliant yellow sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Head for El Palmar beach for campsites and hostels and a couple of excellent beach restaurants for lunch. One or two become discotheques on hot summer nights.

There are some historical monuments worth visiting:

Tower of Guzman el Bueno
Church of Santa Catalina
Convento de la Victoria - featuring interesting paintings
Convento de San Francesco de Paula - see the image of Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes (Our Lady of Virtue) the Patron Saint of the town.

There are several hotels and hostels, the latter including the centrally located Pension la Villa Plaza de Espana Tel: 956 441053

Conil is well known for its seafood restaurants. Try the ortiguillas (deep fried sea anemones), which you can only find in the Cadiz area and for a really reasonable meal check out the bar restaurant Pena Federata de Caza on the road uphill towards Barbate.

The beaches of Conil are in three sections: La Fontinilla near the town Paseo Maritimo Fuente del Gallo backed by cliffs to the north of the town. Calas de Roche numerous coves to the north, difficult access to some, make them quiet except for summer weekends.
