El Palmar de Vejer

El Palmar is a small rural town that occupies 8 kms of semi-virgin Atlantic coast in the municipality of Vejer.  Its cultivated fields and palm trees are testimony to its not too distant past, in which agriculture and livestock ensured its economic sustenance, gradually replaced today by the beach’s tourism.

Small houses are dotted around the streets, offering visitors a paradise for active tourism and outdoor sport . From Conil to Los Caños there are different stretches of coastline of clear waters that lap sandy dunes of high ecological value. The most characteristic landmark of El Palmar is the Almenara Tower, used over the centuries to alert the population of potential dangers.

Considered the swell magnet and most consistent surf spot on the Andalusian coast, its beach-break is ideal for beginners in the surf throughout the year and especially attractive from October to May for experienced surfers as it is when you get the larger swells.

In El Palmar you can find all kinds of facilities: supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacy, tobacconist, mechanical shop, butcher, fishmonger, cottages, bars .... and of course our school and surf camp – 9Pies.
While in summer it’s quite crowded, the rest of the year offers mild temperatures and a tranquil atmosphere to enjoy with the five senses.
