Café de la Mar

Las vistas son buenas y en verano es un sitio muy frecuentado, ya que está a pocos pasos de la playa. El servicio en general es bueno, pero los precios son algo elevados y el acceso a Internet demasiado caro.

I have to get one thing straight here, this is a place designed to tap directly into the wallets of tourists. You won’t find many locals here, other than friends of the café staff and the odd person nipping in for a coffee.
But don’t let that put you off it. The coffee here is really, really good, especially if you like it dark and strong, as a medicine for the previous nights debacles. It’s decked out in old maritime gear and red terracotta tiling, obviously tapping into the regions fame throughout Spain regarding it’s Tuna fishing. As well as the usual array of coffee, there’s a fine selection of herbal teas (and my personal favourite, mint tea, made with fresh mint leaves). They also serve great cocktails for the evening, one will normally set you up given the liberal servings of grog that go into them.
Food wise, they’ll fix you up a sandwich or icecream, but with all the food Conil has to offer (and the 100 sanwiches place opposite!) I’d resist the urge to get a cheap fix and go exploring.
So, I mentioned about it being a tourist place, and yes, it does fill up with holidaymakers from all over Spain, and indeed Europe. A lot of Germans, with the odd Brit for good measure. If you spend a lot of time in Conil, you sometimes thirst for some conversation with someone who shares a common cultural background, so the café is a good place to find that person. Then, having done that, you can go out together and soak up the more authentic experience that Conil has to offer
