A beautiful destination on the Costa de la Luz, El Palmar has, so far, managed to avoid the high-rise buildings and hotel resorts that you so often see in these coastal towns. The town has an array of self-catering options including apartments, bungalows and villas situated on the beach.

An increasingly popular destination for surfers, local Spaniards and foreign tourists alike, El Palmar has a variety of accommodation options. The El Palmar hotels are mostly smaller, family-run guesthouses or hostals situated right on the beach.

There is a local bus from Cadiz and Seville to Atlanterra calling at EL Palmar and Conil de la Frontera.

El Palmar is located 5km north of Vejer and is the Surf capital of Andalucia. Unknown by non-Spanish visitors until recently, El Palmar is becoming more popular for its laid-back atmosphere and unspoiled landscape. The dunes and foliage are being carefully preserved with elegant solid wooden walkways leading to the beach. The sand is golden.
