Things to know

Though it’s super famous for kitesurfing and its golden sand beaches, Tarifa is also a climbing paradise. This buzzing town at the very south of Spain has climbing routes with epic views of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Moroccan Coast just a stone’s throw away! With over 250 routes ranging from beginner-friendly to advanced, there’s something for everyone here on the cliffs of tough sandstone—and I know these crags like the back of my hand, as I’ve been climbing in Andalusia since the mid 80s. After a day of climbing, what better way to end the day than enjoying Tarifa’s vibrant atmosphere and stunning beaches? If you’re craving some fantastic climbing, tasty food, and unbeatable views, Tarifa is the place to be.
