Conil de la Frontera
Conil de la Frontera is a white town on the Atlantic coast of Cádiz province, with around twenty-three thousand residents. In summer the population multiplies: people come for the beaches, a long string of them here, and for the tuna caught the old way, in almadraba trap nets.
For anyone moving, Conil is a resort with a caveat. It is quieter in winter than in summer but does not close entirely: this is still an Andalusian town with a life of its own rather than a strip built for the season. The nearest hospital and airport are in Cádiz and Jerez, about an hour away. Housing costs less than on the Mediterranean. The wind here is constant, the water cool and the beaches wide — Atlantic tides are real ones.

What tenants actually pay
sourcedThis is the median rent on active leases — tax records for 2024, a sample of 294 leases. It includes long-standing contracts at unchanged rents, so it sits below what is asked today: our estimate of asking rent is 720 € for a two-bedroom.
The point of the 75th percentile: it is closer to what is being signed now than the median. The gap between them shows how much a new tenant overpays relative to long-standing ones.

Asking prices are what long lets are advertised at today; the registry is what tenants pay on signed leases, including old ones. The gap between them is your negotiating argument.

Renting without a Spanish contract
How realistic a long lease is without a nómina — on foreign income, savings or prepayment.
- —7.2% foreign residents — the market is built for locals with a contract
- —Prices rising 10% a year — the landlord picks, and the first filter is a nómina
- —Stock goes to tourist lets: long leases are scarce and competed for
This is our model, not a measurement: demanding a nómina is an individual landlord's practice and nobody publishes it. The rating is derived from the share of foreign residents, the presence of a community with services, price growth, seasonality of the stock and the size of the town.
