Located at the southernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, Tarifa is a lovely Andalusian fishing village and port.
The winds, from east and west, have made the area one of the primary windsurfing and kite boarding spots both in the world. As the kite surfing capital of Europe, Tarifa has a truly cosmopolitan atmosphere, with plenty of restaurants, bars, pubs, and discos to choose from.
Approximately 60% of the municipal area is protected, which means that Tarifa and the surrounding area are particularly special in having maintained their original natural environment. It is tucked in between two natural parks, the Cork Oak Forests and the Strait of Gibraltar, and boasts the great sand dune of Bolonia. This dune has an altitude of 30 meters and is one of the least altered landscapes of the Costa de la Luz.
