Golf: The roof terrace, master bedroom terrace, back porch and garden all have panoramic views over several fairways of Campano Golf now owned & managed by Novo Sancti Petri Golf
This testing but fair par 70 18 hole course which is in great condition constantly being automatically watered and constantly tended by a team of groundsmen and green keepers.
There are plenty of water features which are present on almost every hole [couple of lakes, duck pond, streams and a winterbourne.
The course is very pretty set partly in an olive plantation and partly among pine trees on this mostly level course.
Golf buggies are available from the club house.
There is a practice area, resident golf academy, pro shop and superb clubhouse with a good tapas menu and porch looking down the first fairway.
There are also a number of quality course nearby: Sancti Petri [2] and the Melia. Slightly further away is Jerez, Montenmedio, Montecastillo, and Benalup.
The beaches: Washed by a warm Atlantic ocean endless expanses of sand, interspersed with cliffs and coves there's a beach suitable for everyone. Many have great sunset views with restaurants, chiringuitos [in the summer] and all year cafes playing live and recorded music [La Ola at Fontanilla].
The nearest beach is Loma del Puerco : chiringitos/beach cafes during the summer.
To the left Roche beach with the El Timon restaurant. Beyond are the coves offering good diving; some for families, some for naturists. After the fishing port is Fontanilla with two great fish restaurants; lifeguards in summer. This becomes Conil beach - Las Bateles: chiringitos and lifeguard in summer.
To the right Loma becomes Barrossa: paseos on Sundays, lifeguard
Beyond is Coto San Jose where at each spring equinox the Phoenicians, Hannibal & several Caesars would congregate to pray the sun would return as on this day and from this point it disappears behind the island of the Temple of Hercules.
Historically and Culturally: There is plenty to see and do both locally and slightly further afield.
There is a theatre in Chiclana, open air flamenco in Conil by the Guzman tower, a theatre in San Fernando, and numerous cinemas.
For the best review of what is happening throughout the province of Cadiz : www.guiadecadiz.com
Conil is an aspirational fishing village, Cadiz for flamenco, Cordoba for the mosque, Seville for the Giralda and horse fair, Jerez for the old Jewish quarter and te sherry bodegas, most villages have bull running weekends, ferias and local saint festivals, some with pilgrimages. Semana Santa - being the week before Easter - processions in Cadiz are quite special [Thursday night on the cathedral steps to watch the floats being brought in by the hooded penitents
Tangiers is not far away [40 minutes by highspeed ferry from Tarifa]; we stay in the medina at a lovely riad called La Tangerina [www.latangerina.com]
