  • If you are not going to be driving in Tarifa I would suggest that you base yourself in town, whilst its lovely staying out of town near the deserted beaches, you will have to get a taxi in and out of town and there are not alot of them. Also it costs about 16 euros for a round trip so this can add up ! Also because there are not alot of taxis sometimes you can find your self waiting upto half an hour !! So if you are going to come to tarifa a car would be best !!

    We had a hire car when we visited, but to get about the old town was fine walking. However we didnt really venture into the newer part of town but I dont think Tarifa is such a huge place.

    To get to Tarifa there is a train station in Algeciras and you can get a bus from there.
    The nearest airports are Gibraltar or Jerez.

    When we travel, we like to be independent to do our own thing and it usually involves getting off the beaten path. As a result, we almost always hire a car if it makes any sense at all given the circumstances of where we are visiting. In this case, because Sue's sister was joining us from England for eight days of our trip, I had to go one size larger than normal to accommodate three suitcases. It turned out to be a diesel Ford Focus station wagon with a 5-speed manual transmission. There was enough space in the rear for the suitcases plus a few other odds and ends as well as a flap that covered-up everything from prying eyes.

    We hired it from Red Ribbon Car Hire Spain but picked it up from the Goldcar desk at the Alicante airport - at a daily rate of 18.26 Euros. However, when all the extras like insurance and diesel surcharge were added in, the total for 18 days came to 618 Euros (~US$850 during the financial meltdown crisis).

    Everywhere we went in Spain, we found the roads to be in excellent condition - even on small secondary roads in the Sierra Nevadas or along some 'off-the-beaten path' coastal roads such as this one just northwest of Tarifa. I must be a crazy driver, because the legendary Spanish drivers did not bother me at all. The biggest problem with this Group F-size car was in towns, trying to squeeze it into one of the few small parking spots that one might chance upon. It did not give us any mechanical problems during the 3240-km (~2000 miles) we drove it.

    Bus from La Linea

  • As there was no direct bus from Gibraltar, we had to cross the border to take the bus to Tarifa. The first stop across the border is La Linea de la Concepcion, from where there are buses every hour or so to Tarifa, passing through Algeciras along the way. The journey takes just under an hour and costs 3.50 Euro.

    The bus stop in La Linea is difficult to find. Once you cross the border walk straight ahead for about 200 metres and take the street to the left before McDonalds. The bus stop is then about 100 metres on the right hand side.

    In Tarifa, the bus station is about 800 metres north of Puerta de Jerez (entrance to the old town) on Calle Batalla del Salado.

    The catamaran from Tarifa to Tangiers is quick, clean and efficient.. well it is right up until you want to get off and the Moroccan passport control make you wait. The views from deck by sundown are special. Leaving for African soil was really nervy.

    There is a ferry which operates from Tarifa to Morocco every two hours. For information on timetable and prices have a look at www.frs.es. The ferry they use can transport vehicles but always check if your car insurance covers Morocco. Also you must have all vehicle documents in order.
