This is only a 35 minute drive. We suggest you leave your car on the Spanish side of the border (plenty of parking) to avoid the hassle of the long queues of cars which sometimes move very slowly because of customs controls. You walk across the border (airport immediately on your left) and can find small buses or taxis to take you on a tour.

It happens not to be my personal favourite place for a day out so I leave it to you to discover its (to me!) hidden charms. Most English guests feel a certain obligation to visit it as it remains British and has a rich history.

Taxi drivers are in general excellent guides!

About Zoë and her guesthouse

Zoë is the owner of Guesthouse Dar Cilla which is unique of its sort in Tarifa. It is located on the outskirts of the old town within the old 12th century walls. 'Dar' is an Arabic word for a town house in which a series of suites are grouped around a central courtyard. Each suite is fully independent, but there is a pleasant air of 'sociability' and you will meet Zoë and fellow guests on the roof terrace over a glass of wine.
