In Tarifa, southern Spain, kitesurfing (or kiteboarding, as it’s often called) is a cult pastime. Why? At Point Tarifa, the southernmost point of all of continental Europe, the calm Mediterranean rushes up to meet the voracious Atlantic, lending itself to Tarifa’s excellent kitesurfing conditions and moniker of “The Windy City”. This “Mecca of wind” has even hosted the World Kiteboard Championships.

Sometimes, what you want more than anything in the world is to get away from it all, lie back and relax. Tarifa, close to Cádiz, is an idyllic town in southern Spain, on the Costa de la Luz (“Coast of Light”). Sound good? Without further hesitation, then, here’s this week’s top apartment in Tarifa.

The summer solstice, also known in Spain as the night of San Juan, is one of the largest celebrations on Spanish calendars, and has been considered since the dawn of time to be a magic date. Every year, on the 23rd of July, bonfires and fireworks welcome in the beginning of summer.

Passion knows no time or season. And for many, surf is an all year round vocation. To confront the sea, skim the ocean backwash and stand on the crest of the waves, a dream come true with a board beneath your feet. This sport has found its natural habitat in the surrounding areas on the coast of Cadiz.

How does a few days in Tarifa sound? Whether it’ for celebrating Halloween or “Tosantos” (All Saints Day as it is known in Cadiz), or quite simply because you just want to escape your usual routine and enjoy the many charms of the town of Tarifa. With its beautiful landscapes and wide variety of sports activities on offer, we’re convinced that you won’t regret it.

In the narrowest area of the Gibraltar Strait, Tarifa is one of the best tourist destinations in Cadiz. Surrounded by beaches, mountains and natural parks, it has a lovely climate and at this time of year the temperatures are very pleasant.

Cenas en el Gades Romano allows you to enjoy a Roman style banquet to honour the gods, as well as your palate. How does that sound? Then head to Cadiz before the summer is over to try out this original event at the Casa del Obispo Archaeological Site.

This week, our apartment of the week is a very special apartment in Tarifa, where you can live in harmony with the unique natural surroundings and rediscover your inner peace whilst enjoying some incredible holidays. We are referring to Casa Xingu, a magnificent duplex situated in a privileged area, in the middle of the woods, and inside the Strait Natural Park.

Now that spring has arrived and the sun is starting to poke its head out of the clouds for some warm weather, its time to start talking beaches. We are going to focus on the province of Cadiz and its coastline bordering the Mediterranean Sea as well as the Atlantic Ocean.

Cadiz can boast of being one of the best located places in Spain given that it is cushioned between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean with an enormous coastline full of impressive beaches and natural landscapes. At the highest point of Tarifa visitors and locals alike can enjoy the generous breezes that blow through the town thanks to the convergence of the winds and seas that are the envy of Europe and the most appealing aspect for surfers in all of Spain and the European continent.
