Save the Cordoba Mosque:
please, sign the petition.

Salvemos la Mezquita de Córdoba · Por una Mezquita-Catedral de todos

The Catholic church in Spain has been exploiting to it's financial advantage the World Heritage Site of the Cordoba Mosque (Mezquita) for decades.

They now even pretend to turn this public site into church estate. They actually have already banned the term Mezquita (Mosque) to impose religious monopoly, while the Mezquita is actually one of the few great universal paradigms of harmony between cultures (main reason why it was declared World Heritage in the first place).

Public pressure is needed towards the government of Andalusia to keep this monument as public property instead of loosing it to private, christian dominion.
Save the Mezquita: please, sign the petition.

Conil de la Frontera, some 25 miles to the south of Cadiz city, is built on a coastal plain and bathed by the mild waters of the Atlantic.

This white hamlet that until a few decades ago housed only fishing and agricultural families and catered for a handful of tourists is today one of the most popular tourist investment places in the whole of the Cadiz province.

14 km of beach at and around Conil de la Frontera

 

The countryside of Conil de la Frontera is a nice mixture of beaches, woods, pine forests (Roche and Colorado) and coastal thickets intersperced by hillocks and hills that, in some places, lead to cliffs at the sea’s edge.

 


Beaches, cliffs and coves

One of the particular attractions of the area is the ten miles of beautiful beaches. Look out for Castilnovo, Los Bateles, La Fontanilla, El Roqueo, Fuente del Gallo and Roche.

Rocks and waves beaches of Conil de la Frontera

 

And don’t miss the inlets and coves surrounded by wind protecting woods with curious names, such as: Camacho, El Dudario, Los Pitones, Melchor, Del Aceite, del Tio Juan de Medina, del Pator, El Frailecilo, El Aspero, and Encendida.

 


 

Enjoying the town

Walking around Conil is relaxing, but since the town is on a hill that gently slopes down to the sea, it’s recommended to start the ascent from the sea at the Paseo Maritime which climbs gently until it reaches the town centre.

And yes, right in front of the lighthouse the important Battle of Trafalgar took place in which the Royal Navy, led by Admiral Nelson, destroyed Napoleon's combined Spanish and French fleet in 1805. The famous Trafalgar Square in London is named after this historic event.

Before arriving at the Trafalgar lighthouse, you come by two other magnificent beaches that stretch wide and almost empty as far as the eye can see: first El Palmar beach and next Zahora beach, running up to the lightouse.
