About Conil de la frontera

Conil de la Frontera, also considered as ‘White Town’, is a Spanish Andalusian city in the southeast of Cádiz facing the Atlantic Ocean.  Fishing has continued in the city, founded by the Phoenicians, for hundreds of years and it is mostly known as a fishing town. A part of such a popular city as Costa de la Luz, the city turned into a tourism destination with its natural beauty after 1960s.

Conil de la Frontera is a unique combination of the sea and the sun with its warm atmosphere of tapas bars, which is integrated into the Spanish culture, and lively night life. In the city, white-sandy beaches stretching out 14 kilometers meet the crystal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. You can do scuba-diving and any kind of water sports on its 6 untouched beaches, each of which gives a different pleasure with the bays hidden among the cliffs. It is possible to see the traces of the periods Muslims lived through while walking in the small streets of the city, a center of its marine history, in company of bougainvillea and geraniums hanging on the white houses. A favorite place of the Spanish people and those having bachelor parties who come from Seville or nearby cities, the city is also the address of crazy entertainments. Streets, which are empty during the day, are filled with music and dance from evening till dawn.

Castle of Guzmán, which is a military castle from the 14th century and was built through the official founder of the city, the Baroque Church of Misericórdia from the 18th century and the Santa Catalina from the 15th century are among the artifacts reminding the deep history of the city. The walls of Conil de la Frontera that remained from the Middle Age are also worth-seeing.
