Where to stay in Conil de la Frontera
Staying in Casco Antiguo puts you within easy walking distance of El Piojito Market and the rest of the old town. The Hotel Fuerte Conil-Costa Luz is a solid option if you want comfort and a short drive to everything.
For something closer to the centre, look at Centro, where smaller guesthouses and holiday apartments keep you right in the middle of the action. Conil is a compact town, so wherever you stay, you won't be far from the market.
