Fontanilla Beach, at the northern end of the coast of Conil, boasts huge expanses of sand which, even at the height of summer, are rarely crowded. The vibrant Atlantic Ocean confronting you is home to some of the best fish in the world and expect to eat the freshest at either of these restaurants set side by side. Rumor has it that it was once a large family restaurant, but the brothers fell out and cut the restaurant in two. Both are great with tempting displays of fresh fish set on ice. Worth noting is the huge plate of tomato and anchoa salad, fried fish such as boquerones, ortiguillas ( sea anemones) and puntillitas (the smallest of the cephalopod family), calamari (squid) a la plancha, razor clams, gambas ajillo ( prawns in garlic and olive oil), arroz a la marinera (fisherman’s rice) and atun del Almadraba dishes. Accompanied with a bottle of ice-cold Manzanilla, this could be your dream day.
