Tarifa is a small town in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, on the southernmost coast of Spain. The town is located on the Costa de la Luz and across the Straits of Gibraltar facing Morocco.
Tarifa has become one of the most popular spots young people (16 to 45 years old) to spend their summers. The coast of Tarifa is also popular with windsurfers and kite surfers due to the strong winds of the straits. For this reason Tarifa is also dotted with hundreds of wind turbines.
