Lose yourself among the narrow streets and walled patios of Conil, a picturesque town on the Costa de la Luz that lies serenely by the Atlantic.

Be fascinated by the town's fishing tradition as you enjoy your holidays in Conil de la Frontera. In this small jewel on Cadiz's coastline, the white narrow streets are set off by the burst of colourful geraniums on the balconies.

Delve into the town's history by visiting La Chanca, a unique building in Europe constructed five centuries ago to house the almadraba trade, the area's traditional tuna fishing industry. It's well worth a visit if you want to understand Conil's age-old relationship with the sea.

You can't miss Puerta de la Villa either. Built back in 1502, it was one of the four main entrances that protected the town from the scourge of piracy. And check out Torre de Guzmán too, which was built by Guzmán el Bueno at the end of the 13th century. Take advantage of one of our cheap trips to Conil de la Frontera to discover a wealth of little-known cultural heritage.

Many also come in summer to enjoy the spectacular beaches nearby. Book one of our package holidays to Conil de la Frontera soon. Apart from Bateles beach, which is conveniently located beside the centre of the town, there are many other options: La Fontanilla, Fuente del Gallo and Roqueo beach. If you're seeking thrills, escape to El Palmar, which is a short distance south and a favourite of water sports fans.

As night falls, dress up and paint Conil red. Take a stroll through the centre and stop for a drink on one of the many terraces. Sample the freshest pescaíto frito fried fish, a thistle rice dish or delicious tuna served with poached onion, dishes that the locals wash down with Manzanilla sherry.

The climate usually changes often in Conil due to its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, although the temperatures are mild all year round.

Now is the time to book a flight + hotel to Conil de la Frontera and enjoy a coastal destination with endless appeal.
