Travelling through Latin America and Spain, I’d always dreamed of buying a place on the coast in Spain. We’d always enjoyed holidays in Andalucia, so in 2004, after a lot of research, I set off along the South coast of Spain to look for a suitable location. I knew Conil de la Frontera was the place as soon as I came over the hill and I could see the white town and beach spreading out below. It had everything I was looking for: easy to get to, right by the sea, sunshine, a very Spanish atmosphere, a beautiful historic centre, an amazing beach, loads to do, lovely people, fantastic bars and restaurants and a good mix of predominantly Spanish tourists.
I also love the area, Cadiz, Jerez and Seville and it's so easy to get onto the motorway just a few minutes away over the hill.
