Africa on one side, Europe on the other
Tarifa is about as far south as you can go in Spain. It has a beautiful beach; an easy ferry to Tangier; and forts and monuments to the Reconquesta; The towns name comes from the famous Arab general Tarik. As usuual, many of the homes have patios and fountains. You can still see the walls of the medina or old city. The town and its people are sunbleached and relaxed. The coolest part is sitting on the beach, looking at the Sea and turning your head back and forth to look at Europe on one side and Africa on the other. Africa is only fourteen km away.
Also, on our bus ride we saw a lot of wind turbines and some solar panels. Go Spain!
