The Tarifa city is situated at the southern point in
Europe, only 14 km from Africa.
It was the first settlement of the Moorish invasion
of 711 and still retains all the charm of an Arabic
city.
Its legacy of historic monuments is noteworthy:
The Gate of Jerez and the Caliph's Castle from the Moorish
rule,
The church of San Mateo (16th century), etc.
Nearby, the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia are worthy
of mention, lying next to the beach of Bolonia.
Its coast has been chosen for the World Windsurfing
Championships.
Underwater fishing is also possible in its transparent
beaches:
Los Lances, Bolonia, Punta Paloma, De la Plata, Valdevaqueros
