This shot is before arriving to Tarifa ( Cádiz), from Algeciras, you can see the Strait of Gibraltar, with África in the horizon.On  the left of the picture, you can see Ceuta, a spanish town in North Africa. Some ferries are crossing the Strait.

Another nice view, taken in a road point at the middle of the way to Tarifa from Algeciras, called " El Mirador" .On the right, you can see the highest mountain in Marocco, named "Sidi Musa".

In the middle of the picture, you can see Ceuta.



Here at the back of the picture, you can see a part of the beach named "Los Lances". Tarifa  (Cádiz) is hidden on the left of the picture.Here, it begins the coast of Cadiz, named "Costa de la Luz".

Los Lances beach, a close shot. You can see a red sail of "Kite-surf"  on the right of the picture. This sport is greatly practised in Tarifa since a number of years ago. Even though, the very first practised sport here is windsurf. One of the phases of the World Championship is celebrated here every year ( together with Canary Islands and Hawai).
At the back and about the middle of the picture, you can see the highest dunes in Europe, named "Valdevaqueros", named after the beach where you can meet many practisers of windsurf and kitesurf. It is a true spectacle, everyday in summer.
You can also see a stunning sunset everyday in Tarifa. It happens at the left of the cape that appears in the picture.

This is another angle in the beach named "Los Lances", and this picture has been made in sunset.

Here, at the back, you can see the named "La Isla", which is a naval base.

When you arrive to Tarifa, the first one thing that you find is this old door.If you go trough the arch, you can find two streets: if you take the left one you can go down to the main street, named "La Calzada".And, if you take the right one, you can find the market of Tarifa --where you can buy a very good fish, for example; the most famous, that you can find, is the tuna--.

This is one street, near "La Calzada" ( main street in Tarifa), there are a lot of very narrow streets like this, in oldtown Tarifa.

Another nice and narrow street, oldtown, near La Calzada.

Going through a very short and narrow street, named "El Lorito", you can arrive to the "Plaza del Perulero", --I love this square....--.That house, in front of you, is  "El Perulero" restaurant.



This is the entrance of the restaurant. 



This is the main hall.On the left, there is a little bar; and, on the right, you can eat in a little and confortable dining room.
Upstairs, you can find two big dining rooms. I recommend this place to you, very typical indeed.Upstairs, there are also some nice balconies and lots of "fans" ("Abanicos") on the walls.



This is another angle of the main hall.The door in the left side belongs to the little bar.

That is the little bar.

This is one of the balconies in the first floor.

On the right side, you can see a door which belongs to the private dining room. 

This is that private dining room.

This is the staircase to go to the second floor.

Another two balconies.

This is one of the two dining room in the second floor.This is the bigest one.

This is another hall, before going into the other dining room, in the second floor.

These are three of the fourth balconies in the second floor.

This is a corner of the smallest dining room, in the second floor.

This is the whole dining room.

That is a door to go out of the smallest dining room.

This is another corner, in the second floor, with a piece of the bigest dining room at the end of the picture.

This is another nice view of the balconies in the second floor.

Another corner in the bigest dining room.

A view of a part of the first floor, from the staircase.

A part of the first floor, from the private dining room.

To be continued......

Typical street. Nice balconies. The white closed balcony on the right is named "Cierro".

I love making pictures of balconies, in every town I visit.You can check that, in Tarifa, there are some very nice ones.



Many foreigner people are buying houses, like this one, and they refurbish them inside, keeping the front,  these are protected Art patrimony.


This is a clear example of that idea.Really, I think that it is a pity to see such a spoiled but nice house....is not? .It is so abandoned...If I could, I would buy it..., sure.


I like this corner very much. If you go upstairs, you can find the town hall.

That is an old building, beside the Town hall, on the back of the picture.This is the square named "Santa María" (La ranita).


On the back of the picture, you can see one of the towers of the Castle, named "Guzmán El Bueno".



This is the monument of "Sancho IV El Bravo".Behind it, you can see a part of the Castle "Santa Catalina".

On the left of the picture, you can see the door to enter into the Castle "Guzman El Bueno".


This is the fortress of the King "Guzman El Bueno".It is close to the port of Tarifa.


On the right of the picture, you can see the "Santa Catalina" Castle, from 17th Century.It is close to the Island (The Naval Base) and close the fish market of Tarifa.

This is the swimming-pool of the Hotel "Dos Mares", in Tarifa, --some kilometers from the city to Cadiz--.It is a very tranquil hotel, in order that you spend your holidays.And it is not expensive.

If you go downstairs, you will find a good restaurant and you will have a very nive view of the beach.

Under that, you can find a bar and a restaurant.From this beach, you can see the city of Tarifa and Africa.

This is the view from the parking of the Hotel "Dos Mares".The big Mountain, on the left, is Africa.

On left: Tarifa and, on the right side: the island, where there is a militar base.

       Well, by the moment, my special "film" of Tarifa has arrived to The end.I would enjoy and welcome a lot commentaries on the pictures as it is first time I make them public.
