Traveler advice
Getting around
Walk is king in the city :)
You reach everywhere in central Tarifa by foot. Old town is just 10 min away. Parking can be a nightmare, especially in the summer. I suggest walking to most of the places nearby, and leave your car when day trips or for going to other beaches or places in the area :)
Don't miss
Amazing hiking in Tarifa and nearby :)
Valdevaqueros, Punta Paloma, Artevida, Bolonia, La Pena, Oliveras, the Buddha Walk - there are soooo many lovely hiking areas in Tarifa and nearby areas, and so much nature to see )
