Tarifa (Tarifa) - the most southern point of Europe: here, in the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. This Spanish city and the capital of the winds attract not only tourists but also surfers - an international windsurfing championship takes place on the local coast every year

Tariff is still worth visiting if only then that it offers a stunning panorama of the African mainland and its Rif mountain range.

In the Old Town there is a wonderful indoor market with shops where they sell fruits, vegetables and fresh fish. In a more modern market nearby every Tuesday you can find nuts and dried fruits, local ceramics and many useful and not very useful, but very pleasant things.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions Tariffs

Tarifa is the capital of windsurfing in Europe. But in addition to water sports, you can:

  • Rent a horse in the mountains or on the beach (in the HIPO center)
  • View the whales, dolphins and other marine mammals in their natural habitat. Turmares Tarifa regularly organizes small excursions to the Strait of Gibraltar (you can read about all the animals seen during the trip in the information booklet in Russian)
  • To go to Morocco for a day or two with an organized tour group or individually. You can see the local attractions or feel the oriental flavor in the city market. Ferries to Tangier are daily and regularly.

In the book "The Alchemist" Paolo Coelho, one of the heroes narrates about his visit to Tarifa on the way to Morocco. Not surprisingly, this city became part of the artwork. Narrow cobbled streets, flowing jasmine twigs, openwork fences made of wrought iron make Tarifa attractive for walks by the old city. What to see:

  • Gates of Jerez, built in the 8th century and recently completely renovated
  • 16th-century San Mateo church on Calle de los Azogues
  • Arab Castle Guzman el Bueno, built in the 10th century to protect the city
  • The city museum in the square of Santa Maria (local called this place "the area of ​​a small frog")
Tarifa - Andalusia

At the top of the city in the gardens of Miramar (near the building of the municipality of Ayuntamiento) an impressive panorama of the Strait of Gibraltar and the coast of Morocco opens.

In the park of La Alameda you can see a typical Andalusian "landscape", where in the hell with cobbled paths in the shade of palm branches on the wrought iron benches rest the old people from the scorching sun rays

If you follow the west from the old fishing port along the Muelle de Rivera, you can get to the most southwestern point of Spain - Isla de las Palomas, where the Mediterranean Sea connects with the Atlantic.

In the hills beyond the Tariff, hundreds of windmills generate enough energy to provide electricity to a small city. This is one of the biggest wind farms in Europe.
