Tarifa

Tarifa is the southernmost point of mainland Europe, a small white town dominated by the Guzmán el Bueno castle and famous for its winds, which make it a kitesurfing mecca. The port from which ferries leave for Tangier lies at the foot of the old town, and on a clear day you can already see the Moroccan coast. The crossing is short, but police formalities come before boarding: arrive at the time shown on your ticket.
