Tarifa is the
southernmost country of the entire European continent and, for some reason that
I can’t explain, this filled us with great expectations. Being only 14 km far from
Morocco, Tarifa is considered as the meeting point of two continents and two
cultures, the European and the African one. This small town is very nice, with
its low white houses, narrow cobbled streets, pubs, restaurants, and clubs to
no end. A paradise for surfers and for the lovers of the most fun parties of
Andalusia. However, if you don't belong to any of these categories, you're
screwed.
We stayed in
Tarifa for 3 days, 2 of which were literally spent in the wind and, therefore,
we were unable to go to the beaches. We tried, but believe me, it was a disaster!
So if you aren’t into extreme sports and you don't like to stay out until 5 in
the morning, there isn’t much to do here. Not to mention the fact that Tarifa
it is a very expensive small town! The standards are even higher than our
Italian ones. We spent 83 euro per room per day for a 2 star hotel; yes, it was
nice and clean, but still a 2 star! Eating is certainly not cheap as well: so consider
a budget of at least 100 euro per day per person if you come to Tarifa in
August! And have fun.
