Tarifa: an unmatchable environment
The Kingdom of Sports Lovers
A curious fact: did you know that the Isla de las Palomas (or Isla de Tarifa) is connected to land by a road? The island is in front of the city of Tarifa, and in it you can breathe the Mediterranean air if you turn to your left, while to your right the Atlantic breeze reaches you. It is precisely this Mediterranean climate with an oceanic touch that gives us unique conditions for practicing water sports. The extensive beaches with crystal clear waters and the east wind make Tarifa the kingdom for fans of activities such as sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, flysurfing, or scuba diving. In large part thanks to these types of activities, Tarifa has become one of the most important tourist coastal cities and a first-class destination for constant tourism regardless of the season of the year.
Following in the footsteps of the past
In Tarifa you will discover plenty testimonies of prehistory. The Cueva del Moro, for example, represents the southernmost Paleolithic Sanctuary in Europe; the Necropolis of the Algarbes, on the other hand, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Spain. Just 20 kilometers from Tarifa you will find Baelo Claudia, the famous ancient Roman city that is located in Bolonia. Here the famous waters and the impressive Dune of Bolonia await you.
