AHHH, Tarifa: We first went there in 1970. We rented a flat in one of those 3 white, 3 storey buildings on the beach. There was virtually nothing else in the area. Those 3 buildings were brand new, bright white, and seemed huge and tall. Now when I go back there, I see how small they actually are, and kind of run down looking. The Bar Central was the (almost) only action in town.
It was WONDERFUL!!!! There was NO access to Morocco from Tarifa. It was all about the natural beauty of the area, the history of the place.
PLEASE don't start wishing for a concrete jungle in Tarifa..it's already bad enough with the invasion of the windsurfers."an old town" is what it is supposed to be. There are enough party towns on the coast. If that's what you are looking for, please go somewhere else.
I still visit Tarifa every time I'm in the area. My wonderful friend, Fernando Villanueva ,(his family owned/owns half the town )recently passed away and I was really sad about that.
