The extraordinary diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna makes Tarifa one of Spain’s top designations 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 winds are predominantly westerly (Poniente) and easterly (Levante). These winds can reach extreme strength, although it is usual they blow on a continuous basis with a moderate intensity.
This special circumstance has been used as a great opportunity for fun, generating a whole culture of its own, a way of life and a tourist attraction thanks to water sports that require the power of the wind, such as windsurf, kitesurf and windfoil.
