A few kilometres from Bolonia, on the Costa de La Luz, we find Tarifa, one of the most beautiful seaside resorts and beaches in Andalucia. It is the closest point to the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean Sea joins the Atlantic Ocean. Golden sandy beaches, historic centre of great cultural interest, a truly interesting history and a nightlife that does not envy islands such as Formentera or Mallorca as well as the ideal place for those who love surfing or kitesurfing.

Tarifa, the meeting point of the two continents

The city of Tarifa is located 14 km from Morocco, the southernmost point is called “the tip of Tarifa” and here we find a small islet that takes the name of “Isola de Las Palomas” connected to the mainland with a piece of Street. This city is considered, precisely for this reason, the junction point between the African and European continents.

Here, a very interesting phenomenon occurs, in fact this city is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, a symbolic place of great historical and mythological interest: The Pillars of Hercules.

Best beaches of all Andalusia…

The Andalusian city has 10 kilometres of coastline, and the beaches of Tarifa are famous for their particular white colour and also for the nature that surrounds them. In particular, among the best beaches, we find Playa Chica, Caleta and Playa de los Lances, pristine and voted among the best in all of Europe.

Because of the wind, Tarifa’s beaches are famous for kitesurfing and windsurfing, which can be practised throughout the summer season. Among the best beaches in Andalusia, there is also that of Punta Paloma, which is located in the north of Tarifa and is famous for the windmills that are lined up on the hills.

Nightlife

During the summer the city becomes very active, Tarifa comes to life and dozens and dozens of open-air discos will allow you to enjoy the best parties on the beach. If you decide to stay here there is certainly no lack of fun, in the morning you can enjoy Tarifa and its beaches, at night integrate into the nightlife of Tarifa.
