Spanish Beaches
Nested in the Southern Andalusia region of Spain, Tarifa is a small community of just 18,000 with a vibrant tourist community. Located on the Costa de La Luz off the Straits of Gibraltar, the city is roughly 150 miles outside of Seville and draws visitors from throughout Spain and Portugal.
The city’s historic tradition includes a number of original castles including Castillo de Guzman, which is a symbol of the region’s strong classical tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. In addition to exploring the historic center of the city, visitors enjoy popular water sports off the coast, as well as some of the finest beaches in all of Spain. Well-crafted architecture and traditional buildings accent the city’s natural beauty, which is replete with unique migratory birds, palm trees and a number of well kept natural gardens.
The nearby Malaga Airport is easily accessible from most regional destinations, and is a quick flight from any Spanish flight. While you can also take a bus to the area (by connecting through Algeciras), the relatively low fares make it more convenient to take a flight on a regional airline. Arriving into he city, travelers will find a number of transportation options including car rentals and cabs, which can take you into the heart of the town.
With nearly 50 kilometers of beaches, most resort and villa areas feature private beaches which are right off the water. In addition to the fantastic beaches, guests enjoy a variety of windsurfing and water sports, with classes and training available for beginniners to truly enjoy the coast. Accomodations range from rental villas to bed and breakfast hotels to full service resorts, giving travelers a variety of hotel options.
