The extraordinary diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna makes Tarifa one of Spain’s top destinations for nature tourism. This unique enclave offers experiences such as whale and bird watching, scuba diving, cycling routes, horse riding and much more.
Tarifa is a magical place, where westerly (Poniente) and easterly (Levante) winds predominate.
These winds can be extremely strong, although it is normal for them to blow continuously with moderate intensity.
This special circumstance has been used as a great opportunity for fun, generating a whole culture, a way of life and a tourist attraction thanks to water sports that require the power of the wind, such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and windfoil.
