Tarifa
Cádiz
Tarifa is the southernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meet and the wind defines the character of the place. Its beaches — Los Lances, Valdevaqueros, Bolonia — are vast, open, and with dunes, and have become a global reference for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
Beyond sports, Tarifa retains an old walled town with narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and a culinary offering that mixes seafood cuisine with more contemporary proposals. Ferries to Tangier also depart from the port, a perfect excursion to combine two continents in one trip.
If you go in summer, spend the day at the beach and reserve dinner for the old town, where the atmosphere livens up in the evening. Check the wind beforehand: with strong easterly winds, the beaches are less comfortable for swimming.
Tarifa is wind, open sea, and the constant feeling of being at a frontier: Africa ahead, two seas joining, and an old town that recalls centuries of passage.
LIVVO Tip: Head up to the old town after the beach for dinner.
