Discover Tarifa

A town between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic where beaches, wind, heritage and nature shape the landscape. Discover some of the places that best reflect Tarifa's seafaring character and its unique location facing Africa.

Guzmán el Bueno Castle and the old town

Wander through Tarifa's old town and discover Guzmán el Bueno Castle, a fortress of Caliphal origin overlooking one of the Strait's strategic points. Around it, narrow streets, whitewashed houses and squares reveal the history of a town shaped for centuries by its position between Europe and Africa.

Los Lances, Valdevaqueros and Tarifa's wind

The beaches of Los Lances and Valdevaqueros are among the most distinctive features of Tarifa's Atlantic coastline. Their long stretches of sand, dunes and wind conditions have made this coast a benchmark for kitesurfing and windsurfing, while also offering wide natural spaces to enjoy the sea and explore the shoreline.

Isla de las Palomas and Strait Natural Park

Head to Isla de las Palomas, just off Tarifa, where the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet. The surrounding area forms part of the Strait Natural Park, a landscape of coastline, cliffs and seabeds where Africa on the horizon is a constant presence.
