I wouldn’t worry about your Spanish language skills at El Campero, as it now attracts a multi-national clientele.
As Erica notes, many Japanese diners, Germans who live part time in a colony at Conil de la Frontera, and now since it made the OAD’s “best 150 in Europe” list, it will attract more English speaking diners. They do have an English menu, but I haven’t seen it.
El Campero offers an exquisite wine list to boot.
Vejer is my very favorite pueblo blanco in all of Andalucía! It’s just pristine, cosmopolitan, with breathtaking views, an expansive beach at El Palmar, and this highly photogenic town has become a gourmet Mecca. Lots and lots to like in this area!
I would love someday to take the 4-night “Ultimate Almadraba Tour” package at AnnieB’s Kitchen, that includes cooking classes, a visit to the Barbate market, an early morning boat ride to witness the action and a multi-course dinner at El Campero plus Vejer lodging.
For anyone who would like to see this 3,000 year old fishing technique first-hand during the May-April season, Explore La Tierra does organize 1-day boat trips, departing from Vejer and going out to sea in Barbate.

Other local companies also offer this one day experience.
