Relax, eat, sleep and .... .... Be sure to allow enough time for these ‘activities’. There are so many things you can do it is difficult not to overload your programme. However, please take account of the fact that in High Season (July and August) there is a lot of traffic, parking both in town (evenings) and at the beach is very scarce, places are crowded. For me, it is a question of ‘fine timing’ if you want ‘fine dining’. Whale Watching is very special (providing the wind is not too strong). Excellent small boats with professional and knowledgeable guides take you across the Strait nearly to the Moroccan shore as this is where the currents suit the dolphins (which you are sure to see) and the whales (which you usually see). The coast here (Costa de La Luz) is known as a high wind area and is one of the world’s hot spots for kite surfing and wind surfing. Tarifa was virtually ‘discovered’ by the first generation of wind surfers in their caravans some 25 years ago. It is still a surfers’ paradise but is pretty much a paradise in general – riding, (mountain) biking, paddle boarding, bird watching, shopping, eating, scenic drives – and of course beach walking and just beach ‘bumming’. We boast some of the most unspoilt , golden sandy beaches of Europe with wonderful sand dunes and shade offered by the umbrella pines. Contrary to neighbouring, more built-up areas (Costa del Sol) it is seldom too hot here (a few days in July and August). The wind -Levante, hot from the east, or Poniente, cooler from the west) is a ‘blessing in disguise’ as you don’t just lie and bake (you can if you choose) but feel invigorated, and the whole area attracts the more sporty type of visitor. What have I forgotten? What else can you do? Swim, of course. The sea is crystal clear, uncontaminated, and –to date- no jellyfish. These made their presence felt in the Marbella area last year but so far we –being at the point where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic – have been spared. Or you can swim to Morocco, but this is reserved for well-trained marathon swimmers who plan a year ahead. And of course we have our own castle which you can visit, built to defend Tarifa from the Moors. There are flamenco shows in several bars in the evenings. There are lots of tapas bars (one of the best is right next door to the apartment) and good restaurants, and also a number of very popular discos. There are natural mud baths and rock pools. There is a boulevard (upkeep is questionable!) leading to a long wooden walkway, great for morning joggers. Yoga courses are available. Morocco is so near (nearly within spitting distance of your olive stones, as one guest put it) that I suggest you take advantage of the tour we organize with our private guide.

The bus station and the harbour are at walking distance from the apartment. Nearest airports; Gibraltar, Malaga, Jerez and Sevilla. The best way to travel to Tarifa is hiring a car. It allows you to visit the nearest beaches, white villages or nearest towns in the nearby areas of Andalusia. Public transport is not always reliable but of course a cheaper way of transport. A taxi stop is not far from the apartment, less than 5mins walk.
Though it is the most southern town in Europe, it is incredibly central.
Gibraltar is 40 minutes away and is understandably a ‘must’ for many British guests who feel they can’t be so near without visiting it – but be aware that border controls can take a long time, and take our advice to park in Spain and walk across the border where you take a taxi or a bus.
Seville and Malaga are a little less than two hours' drive away. The most popular airlines fly into both airports. Public transport may be a puzzle but there are frequent connections from both Seville and Malaga to Tarifa. You may just need to catch a taxi for the last stretch of the journey.
If you happen to hire a car please take account of the fact that in High Season (July and August) there is a lot of traffic, parking both in town (evenings) and at the beach is very scarce, places are crowded.
