Tarifa is the southernmost city in continental Europe and is located in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, directly on the Strait of Gibraltar and at its narrowest point. The coastal town, fourteen kilometres from Morocco, has a population of around 18,000.

Tarifa is the ideal holiday resort for people who want to be active in an untouched landscape. The ten-kilometre-long, unspoilt sandy beach offers relaxing bathing days as well as a variety of water sports activities. It is bordered on the western side by the dunes of Valdevaqueros, which invite you to explore a bizarre desert landscape. In the hinterland, the Parque Natural Del Estrecho offers meadows populated by herds of cattle that attract many passionate hikers and cyclists.

Tarifa can look back on a varied history that has left its mark on the Moorish old town, now part of Spain's national heritage. In addition to romantic alleys and bright white houses with beautiful courtyards, the medieval city gate, several baroque churches and the castle Castillo de Guzmán built by the Moors are also worth seeing.

Those who want to enjoy excellent tapas and spicy southern Spanish meat dishes in a typical Andalusian ambience will not be disappointed in the Bar El Frances. Located in the middle of the old town, the small restaurant is one of the most popular culinary meeting places in Tarifa.

Mirador del Estrecho offers impressive panoramic views of the Straits of Gibraltar and nearby Morocco. From this vantage point above the castle, visitors can even clearly see Tangier on a clear day.

The Iglesia de San Mateo was built in 1506 on the remains of an early medieval Norman church. Over the centuries, the sacred building has been architecturally altered countless times. The Gothic vault and the Baroque façade completed in 1774 are particularly worth seeing.
