 Side view the next morning,
the Church in daylight by Bwana_Brown, 1 more photos
It was not until after we were comfortably settled in bed that it revealed its darker side. For some reason, the bells of this church chime a great gong at 15 minutes past the hour. On the half-hour it gives two gongs, followed by three gongs at 45-minutes past. This is followed by a major outbreak of bells at the top of the hour and the sequence then repeats itself - ALL NIGHT LONG! We experienced something similar at Lamego in Portugal during a 2004 trip there, but they at least had the common sense to stop the chiming during the overnight hours. I wondered if it maybe had something to do with the Christmas season, since we were in the midst of it, so checked the internet when we returned home. Apparantly it could happen at any time, because one of the other visitors at Pension Correo mentioned in his 'comments' that this all-night gonging took place during the autumn months. The worst of it was that the 15-minute interval of quietness was almost long enough that a person was just about to fall asleep, then the next session started. On our return to Tarifa two nights later, we made sure we stayed well clear of the Church of San Mateo regarding accommodations.
We actually had a look inside the church in the morning and found its interior to be quite impressive. Leave a Comment

If you happen to be in Tarifa (Cadiz), near Gibraltar, looking to buy or rent accommodation, stay well clear of an Estate Agent located on the main street, called "TARIFA DIRECT".
I rented an apartment from them with a few friends and they ripped us off BIG TIME. It's a bit of a long story, so I will not bore you, but suffice to say that in many years of travelling, it's the first time I felt so strongly as to have to post a complaint online. SO BE WARNED!!!
Typical British estate agent that rips off British (and other) tourists! Leave a Comment
