We are preparing to leave Conil at the end of February after a strange pattern of weather this winter. It has rained consistently and heavily since the beginning of December right up until the middle of February and whilst we’ve enjoyed some dry weather during the last two weeks, it has been often windy and chilly.
There is little benefit in a daily diary of the last couple of weeks, as hectic as they have been. Our friends Richard and Jennifer arrived for a short break here in Conil and we enjoyed some lovely meals out and cycle rides with them.
Paul and Andrea also left at the end of February and we will cut short our stay at Conil as the weather looks a little nicer in the North and it’s been a long time since we explored the beautiful city of Salamanca.
We have had lots to do at Conil, the group of John, Teen, Kevin, Julie, Dave, Marilyn, Marcel, Doreen (not forgetting “Lucky” of course!) and ourselves have been active at the bar and social events. Monday’s communal BBQ has become a ritual, along with weekends watching the Six Nations. The Rosaleda restaurant installing a giant TV, allowed John to work his magic and stream every game live and without buffering!
On our last day, the visit to the Heladeria in Conil was a firm favourite for Rosalind. First time at this location.
No trip to this region of Spain would be complete without a visit (at least one!) to El Calife Moroccan restaurant in Vejer.

First time ever, was lunch at El Roqeo, overlooking the sea and Conil beaches. Food was excellent – Moe and I shared Pargo – Red Snapper whilst Paul and Andrea shared Sea Bass (Lubina).
This isn’t however a budget restaurant option!

And our firm favourite, El Nautico at the Port of Conil.

Not forgetting the many meals at the Campsite Restaurant, including a hanging Kebab for the Last Supper…
I managed a few cycle rides around the area, mainly on cycle tracks or quiet roads.
And some pictures taken from the various walks and cycle trips…
