Conil boasts 14km of sandy beaches stretching as far as Cape Trafalgar. On a clear day the coast of N. Africa is clearly visible. Cycling has long been popular in this area, away from the coastal motorway lay a network of quieter roads that wind over hills between the small unspoilt villages inland. Other active sports holidays are on the increase in the area, El Palmar especially is known as one of Europes top surfing locations, the conditions being better in winter. Conil is more a centre for Kite Surfing. There are a variety of golf courses from as close as 17km.

Conil has a working fishing fleet and is renowned for the Red Tuna caught during the early summer in the system of nets that stretch out to sea, called the Almadraba. The fertile soil also means there are a wide variety of fruit and vegetables grown all the year round. The main tourist season is July and August and Conil is still a predominately Spanish resort with little English spoken.

Conil itself serves a population of some 20,000 people, the winter months are obviously much quieter than the summer ones, however there are always things going on with a variety of bars and restaurants open whenever you visit.

Once arrived in Conil you don't need a car to get a round as everything is a short walk from the Conilsol hotel. For non cycling partners, besides the obvious attraction of the beach, Conil provides a good base to explore the surrounding towns and villages. There is also a good local bus service connecting Conil with Cadiz, Sevilla, Jerez and Tarifa. Day excursions are possible from Tarifa to Tanger in Morocco.

There are a good choice of restaurants and bars, serving mainly traditional fish and meat dishes. Value for money is still excellent when compared with UK prices. Most restaurants or ventas offer a 'Menu del Dia'.at lunch time. Normally three courses with a glass of wine or beer, and bread included. The traditional places charges around 8.50 euros to 11.50 euros. Some restaurants offering more elaborate dishes may charge more, by the same token there are some small ventas in the countryside that charge less. There are also other types of restaurants to choose from, including pizzerias etc...
