Tarifa

The small town of Tarifa is located in the Andalusian region on the southernmost tip of the European mainland, west of Gibraltar and only 14 kilometres away from the African continent. Tarifa is a very popular holiday destination for surfing activities of all kind due to its special location on the Costa de la Luz, uniting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as well as its two strong winds called “Levante” and “Poniente”, blowing daily across the main 15 kilometres long and white sandy beach.
In the summer months the Tarifan beaches come alive with colourful kites and the little bars and clubs in town crowd with people from all over the world, enjoying traditional Tapas food and delicious Mojito drinks after a day of surfing. The charming Old Town of Tarifa gives you plenty of opportunities to browse shops in historic alleys, whereas the adjacent Main Street displays mostly water sport related shops such as kite and board sale, hire and repair, surf clothing and surf schools.
Other activities such as whale watching, horseback riding, quad-bike trips to the mountain backdrops of Tarifa or a day- trip to Morocco on the 35 min. fast ferry round up your perfect holiday in “Europe’s wind capital” - Tarifa!
