Horse-riding, hang-gliding, kite-surfing, rock-climbing and diving to name but a few. There are some excellent hotels and Tarifa property, so if you just want to relax, there's plenty of choice.
The positioning of Tarifa, the most southern tip of Europe, but more so, the point that separates Europe from Africa and the Mediterranean from the Atlantic produces a unique micro climate. This is immediately identifiable by the strong prevailing winds which keep the temperatures mild all year round. These very same winds have discouraged mass tourism and development. However with the new trend of nature related holidays, places such as Tarifa which boast virgin beaches and vast uncontaminated landscape are becoming ever more popular for tarifa property. Tarifa has always been wrapped around in an aura of mystery. Ever since ancient mythology told stories of the Pillars of Hercules, of which Gibraltar is one , being where the world ended, travellers have always been weary and intrigued by this place. Sailors will still narrate how sailing past Tarifa’s coast evokes the similar fascination.
