Located a short drive from the Costa del Sol (1hr & 50mins (104kms), on the Atlantic side of the Straits of Gibraltar, Tarifa is the most southerly point of continental Europe – and also its windiest area. That makes it an obvious haven for surf sports enthusiasts from around the world, but over the years the extended coastline from Tarifa to Cádiz city – through Bolonia, Zahara de los Atunes, Barbate, Los Caños de Meca, El Palmar, Conil de la Frontera and Sancti Petri – has also attracted an increasing number of visitors who simply want to chill out away from the hustle and bustle of Málaga or other urban areas of Andalucía. Its laid-back character, its kilometres of white sandy beaches, its accessibility and affordability and its invitingly bohemian atmosphere are a draw for all types of people, young and old – and not just those wanting to test their skills at kite-surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing and the like. Activities during the day in Tarifa tend to revolve, almost exclusively, around the beach, highlighted by the stunning Punta Paloma stretch three kilometres west of the town. Its huge sand dune was formed over centuries by the strong winds that blow across the bay on an almost daily basis. Here today, the Atlantic Ocean close to shore acts as a busy playground for the hundreds of wind and kite surfers who frequent the beach, their brightly colored masts and taut kite lines zipping across the horizon and creating a fascinating spectacle. Back in the ancient heart of town, the Paseo de La Alameda promenade enchants visitors with its fragrant gardens, well-manicured pathways, shaded benches and delightful fountains
