Excursions in Tarifa

To diversify your vacation and get to know the city better, take a sightseeing tour of Tarifa.

Two types of tourists come to Tarifa. Those who make the arduous trek to this southernmost point of Europe for surfing are not attracted to a tour of Tarifa. Unless there is a breeze on the coast, which is rare. But ordinary tourists are always interested in a sightseeing tour of Tarifa.

The city, which has stood here since time immemorial, has a lot to boast about. However, a bus tour of Tarifa does not make sense. The town is so small that you can literally walk around it in an hour. Therefore, it is better to take a walking tour in Tarifa with a guide, who will take you around the Old Town, show and tell you about the ancient Arab fortress, the only surviving gates, the fortress wall and churches of the XIII century.

A longer excursion to the historical sites in the vicinity of the city. Here, on the territory of the natural reserve there are more than five dozen caves of the late Paleolithic times with rock paintings, ruins of the Roman city of Baelo Claudia.

It is here, by the Strait of Gibraltar, that they rest before their long flight to Africa. And in the middle of the strait you can watch the migration of dolphins and whales. Fishing enthusiasts can find themed excursions with elements of "fish safari". Also from the Spanish port every day ferry takes excursions to the nearest Moroccan port of Tangier. The cost of a round trip excursion to Tarifa is about 60 EUR.
