Tarifa

Few towns in Andalusia have a history as closely tied to control of the Strait of Gibraltar as Tarifa. Set at the southern tip of mainland Spain, it faces the narrow passage between Europe and Africa, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. Punta de Tarifa marks the continent’s southernmost point, while the Levante and Poniente winds have made the town an internationally known centre for wind sports. The 10th-century Castle of Guzmán el Bueno, built under the Caliphate of Córdoba, remains a defining monument within Tarifa’s old walls.
