Tarifa is located in Andalucia at the Southern tip of Spain where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic meet. The African continent lies only 14 kilometers away. The arabic influence reflects in the alleys and colorful flower-decorated courtyards.
Tarifa transformed from a strategic military fortress to a remote fishing town, and today tourism flourishes in this melting pot of cultures.
Every population which either settled or passed by has left its imprint. This is evident from the traces of ancient Rome to the modern windsurfing culture although Tarifa's Moorish style is still predominant with its medina (old city centre).
This modern transformation reinvents itself by beautifully blending its hotels and other accommodation facilities both along its virgin coastline and within the old city walls.
