However, a standard taxi on the island is only licenced to carry a maximum of 4 passengers plus
a "reasonable" amount of luggage.
So for larger groups of travellers, or those with special needs,
it is our recommendation to make provision for a pre-booked taxi to be waiting for you at the airport,
and clearly specify at the time of booking that a larger, or specially adapted, vehicle is needed for
the journey.
The second option would be to pre-arrange for the collection of a hire car from one of the numerous agencies
based at the airport.
Driving over to Conil should be fairly stressless for most drivers, once you have remembered
which side of the road to drive on, as you leave the airport facility you will automatically join the LZ2, the Carretera
de Arrecife de Yaiza, at which point you need to head south west towards Tias.
As you pass the town of Tias keep a sharp lookout for the LZ501, Carretera de Tias A Conil turning, which
will then take you all the way into the centre of the village.
If needed, a more detailed version of this route,
complete with links to maps where appropriate, is available from the

link on the left hand frame of this page.
Whatever method of transport you ultimately decide upon for this journey, once you have arrived in the village
you will very quickly realise that Conil is not a purpose built tourist resort, but a very much a traditional Canarian
town where you will always have the feeling of being an invited, but welcome guest, to another way of life.
The small numbers of visitors who do make it here are often middle aged, and use the village as a convenient
base to see what still remains of the undiscovered Lanzarote, away from the over developed beach resorts and
all night karaoke bars along the popular south coast.
Conil has a small local supermarket which stocks a surprisingly wide range of goods, although many of the brands may not
be instantly recognisable to most British consumers.
However for a wider choice, the town of Tias is only a few minutes drive away, and the
Centro Commercial Deiland
at nearby
Playa Honda,
is also less than 15 minutes away in a car.
The village of Conil could never be described as being lively, and children or young teens would probably
be hopelessly bored within 15 minutes of arriving here.
However, if you are looking for a relaxing holiday in a tranquil
setting, away from the all night neon lit bars and nightclubs, then Conil may be the place for you.
