The Villas Flamenco luxury apartments are in the coastal town of Conil de la Frontera, a destination of the first magnitude, very appreciated by all those who love quality tourism. But what makes Conil the jewel of the so-called Costa de la Luz? Why does this town of just over 20,000 habitants, year after year, represent the dream of an authentic holiday in Spain?
Conil is the essence of Andalusia. Conil offers everything you can look for when you want to enjoy a real vacation. And it is that this privileged enclave gathers history, culture, good climate, extraordinary situation and excellent gastronomy. But, above all, 14 kilometres of immense beaches with clean and crystal clear waters and fine sand, where you can sunbathe for much of the year.
Founded by the Phoenicians in 1200 BC, this white and sailor town later gave shelter to Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and Christians, who incorporated from the border to their name.

Numerous vestiges remain of this rich history. We recommend a walk through its urban area to visit the Tower of Guzmán el Bueno, fortress of the XIV and XV centuries and built to avoid possible invaders, the Parish Church of Santa Catalina and the Hospital from the Misericordia, among many others.
Once you enter through this historical center, your Andalusian past is irreparably revived. And it is that Conil is a town of shining white houses and narrow streets superbly decorated with the typical geraniums and carminations.

The Beaches
Conil de la Frontera combines the spectacular and coquettish beauty of this urban center and its charming fishing village with its varied and rich coastline. And is that its beaches are the main argument to go to Conil on vacation.
The urban beach of Los Bateles, the wildest and most extensive of Castilnovo, the cosy Fontanilla, the turquoise waters of Fuente del Gallo and the elegant beach of Roche are with unrivalled quality.
And what about its famous coves? Those small, almost virgin, cliffs that dot the west of Conil: Camacho Cove, Pitones, Cala del Aceite and the Calas de Roche. Very close to the latter are the Fishing Port and the Lighthouse of Roche (S. XVI), from where you can see a magnificent view of the entire coast.
