A solutely amazing must be the world's first TARDIS: much bigger on the inside Truly worth a visit about 2 hours if you meander take in the views from each vantage point

We visited this castle in Tarifa. It is located right next to the ferry port. There are lots to see in this historic place. We spent a little over an hour in the castle. It has great views of the sea and the city. There is an entrance fee. Pensioners and students have a discounted fee. The walk around the castle was relatively easy. There were a few narrow stairs to get to the upper levels and the towers. It is well maintained. All the public areas are clearly marked. It is well worth a visit.

An excellent fortification steeped in history, well worth visiting and for a miniscule fee, €3. Some very good exhibits and wonderful views of Africa and the Straits of Gibraltar. This impressive, solidly-built Moorish fortification, which played an important part in early Spanish history, has been restored. As the southern-most point of the peninsula, Tarifa was an important strategic entry point into Spain and the rest of Europe for would-be invaders, so good defensive structures were essential. The Castle of Guzman El Bueno was originally built as an alcazar (Moorish fortress) in 960 AD on the orders of Caliph Abderraman III of Cordoba, to protect Tarifa against raids from Africa and the North (Vikings). The castle is now named after Alonso Perez de Guzman, who famously defending it from the Marinids (Moors) in the siege of 1294, when he sacrificed his son's life to save the town, and was given the title Duke of Medina Sidonia by the King (and named El Bueno, which means the Righteous rather than the Good) as a reward. Afterwards it was used as a garrison for Spanish troops over many centuries. Tarifa is the southernmost place in mainland Europe, next stop Africa. Located at the end of the Iberian Peninsula, it is primarily known as one of the world's most popular destinations for wind sports. Tarifa lies on the Costa de la Luz and across the Strait of Gibraltar facing Morocco.

Well curated medieval fortress with a mix of architectural and artifact information, the Castillo de Guzman el Bueno is historical gem and such a deal for the €4 admission fee. The views of the city from the walls only add to the magic.

Great family experience in a sunny day in Tarifa. Our kids had the chance to learn a little bit of history while having fun at the same time. We were surprised when we got to the ticket booth that it was free because of the time we went. Great view of the Atlantic, Mediterranean and the city of Tarifa.

Quite worth a visit on a clear day. You are let through the castle on a one-way tour with nice views on Tarifa and Africa. Some parts of the exhibition were a little dated and some of the modern ones like screens weren't working, but overall quite a lot to see for 4 €.

Absolutely fascinating history and looking out on to the the town while taking in the history and it's settings really changed my view and gave me a whole different understanding of the beautiful town as I was looking out from the views of the beautiful town from inside the Castillo. It's one thing to walk around the court yard and Almedina, but it's completely different once you can view it from above and appreciate it's position and function as part of the fortress.

Important to note ..you have to book through Tourist Office to find out schedule. It's an interesting visit especially if you are into all things military but you don't really get up close to any of the buildings.

It's a beautiful place between two Oceans (the Mediterranean and the Atlantic). There's a good view, and you can see kitesurfers making magic in the sea and wind. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment for us was that the island was closed to visitors. You could just cross to there, but you couldn't enter…

(Translated by Google) Very nice, but it was very windy that day!! (Original) Muy bonito, pero ese día hacía mucho aire !!

(Translated by Google) We have done the visit organized by the tourist office of the very Noble, Heroic and Loyal Tarifa, and it has been very good. The guide, whose name is Juan Manuel, is an excellent professional, he makes the explanations very enjoyable and interesting, and his level of English is very good. (Original) Hemos hecho la visita que organiza la oficina de turismo de la muy Noble, Heroica y Leal Tarifa, y ha estado muy bien. El guía, que se llama Juan Manuel, es un profesional excelente, hace las explicaciones muy amenas e interesantes, además su nivel de inglés es muy bueno .

(Translated by Google) Where the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas meet. (Original) Dove si incontrano i due mari oceano Atlantico e mediterraneo.

(Translated by Google) Tarifa is definitely worth a visit. A windy coastal town with a sandy beach, full of kite surfers, and a cozy little village (with restaurants and ice cream parlors). Here the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet (at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar). From here you can cross to Africa, the journey takes about 1 hour by ferry. (Original) Tarifára mindenképp érdemes ellátogatni. Szeles tengerparti hely, homokos partszakasszal, tele kite szörfösökkel, hangulatos kis falucskával (éttermekkel, fagyizóval). Itt találkozik az Atlanti-óceán és a Földközi-tenger (Gibraltári-szoros bejáratánál). Innen át lehet menni Afrikába, az út körülbelül 1 óra komppal.

(Translated by Google) An interesting visit to the island and its lighthouse. The well-maintained interpretation center is well-equipped with friendly, knowledgeable staff. The visit is worthwhile, costing just €4 for adults and €2.50 for students, and €5 for seniors. Reservations and payment are made at the tourist office. Highly recommended. (Original) Interesante visita a la isla y su faro. Cuidado centro de interpretación. Personal amable y formado. Vale la pena hacer la visita por solo 4€ los adultos y 2.5€ los estudiantes y los pensionistas 1 5€. La reserva de la visita y el pago se hacen desde la oficina de turismo. Muy recomendable.

Very old and crude church full of memories. Open most of the time.

It definitely is NOT open 24 hours. I went on Sunday at 12:25 and found that a Mass was happening. I tried to come back at 1:45pm only to find the doors closed and locked. A paper inside the church indicates the hours of Mass, but nothing tells you when the building in open for tourists.

A very pleasant and welcoming cathedral in the center of the old town of Tarifa. Quiet, cool in summer (which was very comfortable) The originally decorated ceiling surprised me with interweaving of patterns. Come here early in the morning if you want to catch it like in the photo. I hope it brings joy to the locals as well!

It is a lovely church with some beautiful stain glass windows and rather minimalistic for catholic iglesia interior. Its shabby chic outdoor look is charming and adds to the old town’s main street atmosphere

Says on Google open 24 hours. Unfortunately it’s not, we were asked to leave. But the sneaky peek inside we had was beautiful.

in the tariff there are many shops for shoes, shoes, bags, the products are very beautiful, there are Moroccan style clothes, bags, sandals.

Nice church

Puerta de Jerez, the old main entrance to old town. Tarifa's oldtown is very welcoming with lots of cute shops, pastrie shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Also its many narrow streets makes it very charming.The 'Iglesia de san mateo apostol' is the perfect eye/photo-gem situated right in the middle of old town. Also if one continue walking through you reach the port of Tarifa with many more restaurants and bars where you can have a very good sight on the 22km away marocco coast.

It's good place to visit when you spend some time in Tarifa. This trip took longer then I though what is good. It's a good view point.

Beautiful place - love Tarifa

I love how they kept this medieval gateway and the only entrance through the old Moorish city walls that remains today of the four original ones.

Nice place to visit en Tarifa. Nice place to start your tour.

The Door of the Villa or door of Vejer belongs to the Urban Wall of Conil de la Frontera, province of Cádiz, It was built at the beginning of the 16th century. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of Monument.

Stunningly beautiful, medieval walled town with amazing ,bars shops and restaurants

I couldn't recommend El Lola more.. this was our most memorable meal during our 10 day trip to Spain. We had the spicy tuna tartar, goat cheese, chicken meatballs, and pistachio cream dessert. All were delicious but I'd travel back to Tarifa just to have the tuna tartar again. The meat was so fresh, not a fatty piece in it, and such a generous portion. On top of the food, the wine, service, and atmosphere as we sat outside were all top notch.

Overhyped. After reading all good reviews we expected a really exceptional tapas and tuna. Croquettes were fine (good but nothing beyond that), same as tuna tartare. The Japanese BBQ tuna was disappointing - the sauce what too thick and the fish was served on some kind of sticky powder. Since we couldn't figure out what it was, we asked the waiter. He explained ot was flour with octopus ink. It was rather tasteless. sticky and unpleasant. Not my taste, but maybe someone else would like it.

A very nice restaurant with delicious food and well-sized portions. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. However, it was quite crowded, and we ended up at a less comfortable table with bar stools and an uneven surface, which took away a bit from the dining experience. In my opinion, the prices are a little too high for what you actually get – still good, but not fully matching the cost.

Great atmosphere, food good, we had various half plates, which were delicious and substantial, the calamari sliders were delish, as was the boquerones on toast, followed by the Iberian ‘Lagato’ which had the most amazing chargrilled flavor. Service was sketchy as they were sooo busy but everyone was very polite. They don’t take reservations, so get there between 7:30-8pm if you don’t want to queue for an hour or more. Very much worth a visit!

Good quality tapas and friendly staff. The best was the truffled egg tuna tartar, that was a standout. The tuna tataki was less memorable but good, as were the cuttlefish croquettes.

5 stars — Waiting 90 minutes was absolutely worth it. The croquetas, the little hamburguesitas, and the revuelto de patata con jamón ibérico were all outstanding. Every bite felt special, full of flavor and made with care. Truly magical tapas worth the wait.

LOLA in Tarifa is an absolute must! The food is out of this world – from the house signature Frito Lola to the spicy tuna tartare (whaaaat a mezl 🤩) every bite is delicious. The atmosphere is full of flamenco-style charm and energy. Just remember, it’s first come, first serve, so get there a little early. Totally worth it!

Bar El Francés was one of the highlights of our time in Tarifa. Yes, we had to wait a little to get a table (they don’t take reservations and there’s no phone or website), but trust me it’s 100% worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the chicken couscous absolutely blew us away. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and totally unexpected from a tapas bar. Every dish was spot on. The vibe is relaxed, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are more than fair for the quality. This place is a gem and we’ll definitely be back.

A wonderful spot with live music that creates a great atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and always happy to recommend what to drink. The food is absolutely first-class — everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended for a relaxing evening out.

An absolute revelation. The cuisine dazzles with bold, mouth-watering flavours that linger memorably, ensuring you'll be plotting your return before the meal is through. Complemented by a staff that is both impeccably professional and delightfully engaging—particularly with younger diners—the experience is flawless. It stands as a pinnacle of family dining, compelling enough to warrant an immediate revisit. A must-try.

They were very nice and let me sit at the bar since I was by myself. I ordered the tuna meatballs (20/10), tuna montadito (ahumado) (15/10) and the chocolate mousse (6/10). I’ll be back for the eggplant with tomato and cheese which looked amazing. Everyone was very nice even though the restaurant was packed and they were very busy but it took them a while to bring the check and take my order even though I was at the bar. The music was great and the service had a really friendly and welcoming vibe. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be back.

If you are in Tarifa, there is no way you can miss this restaurant. Everything was amazing but if you want to taste something heavenly try the meat balls and the goat cheese mushrooms. We simply loved it and it worthed the wait.

Bar El Frances was one of our highlights in Tarifa. We sat at the bar and that was fine! Staff is very kind, quick and has attention for everyone. And then the best part… the food! The aubergine with goat cheese was so good, mouth watering… same for the Tuna and Squid. A place where you want to return every time when your in Tarifa!

Bar El Francés exudes positive energy. It's always packed, always buzzing, with that real Andaluz warmth. Tapas here are excellent (you must try their seared tuna sandwich, the way they prepare it with the garlic sauce is unmatched), and their specials (like stews) are the kind that take you home, real home cooking like my mom used to make. Staff are lovely, lively, joking, singing, and clearly loving what they do. It’s the kind of spot where you order a cold drink, relax with friends, and let the flavors and atmosphere do the rest. If you want pure southern Spain (loud, tasty, authentic) his is it. One of my top 10 in Tarifa. Intimate bar area, outdoor covered seating, and street side seating make for an vibrant experience.

Busy fish restaurant that serves good food which is reasonably priced. It’s located on the edge of town centre with plenty of outdoor seating. All dishes we ordered were very tasty and good size portions too. Great choice for anyone who is not sure what to order as menu is quite extensive, including Maroccan inspired dishes.

Everything at this restaurant is at least a 10/10. The service is very attentive, quick and super nice. The food is extraordinary. We went here twice in a row, tried different foods and are in fact sad that we have to leave and can‘t try every single dish on the menu.

Good andalusian fish restaurant. Can be a little hectic inside. My grilled seabass was nice, but could have been filleted better. Vegetables were top notch. Service was top, afterwards a cherry on the house. Generally recommended.

What a lovely place to eat, the staff was super friendly, and the food was to die for. We went twice in a 2 days trip, first day we got the tuna 4 ways and the octopus 🐙, but the second day it was the cherry on top 🍒 the pasta with clams and king prawns was amazing, but the croaker with aioli and squid ink rice is something that you MUST eat, is not the cheapest place but it is completely worth it. Is a place that we will go every time we visit Tarifa!

The restaurant is located in front of the port gate in a nice square. You can also step in from the oldtown. The waiters are kind ,helpful and attentive from the beggining till the end . The arroz was quiet good and plenty for two person . At the and they invited us for a dessert wine however we couldn’t eat more :)

My second time eating here. This time I brought friends and it didn’t disappoint! We enjoyed the seafood croquettes and tuna tasting menu. The servers are super friendly and attentive.

It was a busy night in tarifa, food was fast and really tasty, will say if your planning on ordering a paella dont order anything else cause there is plenty of food.

Small, lovingly decorated vegan & vegetarian restaurant A truly charming little place – thoughtfully and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The food was sensational – full of flavor, creative, and beautifully presented. A big plus: everything is vegan or vegetarian! We’ll definitely be coming back – it’s absolutely worth a visit. Little tip: try the soap in the restroom – it smells amazing! 😊

Lovely team, always friendly :) we had starters, main dish and a dessert. All vegan, all good. The onion pakora is better than in some Indian restaurants. Everything’s made with fresh and clean integrients. Absolute must visit as a vegan in Tarifa ✌🏻

Lovely restaurant but very small get there early for a table or you will have to wait. The bhajis are a must to try! 95% authentic. I think they need to add a bit more coriander, asofotedia ginger and garlic. With coriander seeds and ajwain and it would be 100% authentic. We ordered a burger which was nice but the bread roll was way too dry and would have tasted better on a brioche bun. The sextant kebab was delicious The vegan lasagne was that great. The carrot cake it lovely. I would have ordered the curry next time because it is cooked freshly in the kitchen.

The nachos with the chili sin carne - wow! Also the other dishes were great, cooked with love. Happy place for veg and vegans. Just the space itself is a bit small and the atmosphere could be lighter. Still, worth a visit

Wow! Amazing food and lovely staff! We loved everything, highly recommend

We felt rather disappointed of our diner considering the outstanding prior reviews. Servers were nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed. After choosing our dishes, we were informed they lacked the ingredients to make the ones we chose (understandable but would have been nice to have been told when handing out menus). Food was all right but felt more like cafeteria type food with tasteless lettuce heaped with store bought dressing as side salad. At least prices were reasonable but we have eaten much nicer vegetarian fare for similar prices in other restaurants in Tarifa, with better service and more comfortable seating.

Delicious!!! Everything housemade. We were a group of 6 of combined vegetarians and non-vegetarians, and we all loved our food and wanted more! I wish this restaurant existed in my town. Sooooo good.

I’m so serious when I say the Campesino omelette IS the best omelette in the world. Better than France. Better than anywhere, ever. If you come here, you must get this omelette. Also, it’s not loud, it’s not too crowded, the servers are attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect. I LOVE this place. Thank you.

This was my home away from home during my 10-day stay because the people were absolutely friendly. Staff was so sweet and service was good. We saw some of them around town and they actually recognized us and said hi. The place was cozy and I could spend hours chatting with friends. Food was of course delicious. The owners are Italian so the coffee is fanatic!

A perfect place for breakfast! The shakes are fresh and delicious, and the Andalusian breakfast is simply outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully served. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to start the day. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a tasty and authentic breakfast experience.

Cozy and warm venue with friendly staff. Tried the egg and bacon dish, and it tasted like expected (just average). Could have added more veggies and used better bread. It’s only a four star as I found the prices a bit high and the americano (coffee) was really not good.

Best breakfast in Tarifa. I’ve been here few times and definitely my favourite. Great variety and quality.

Friendly staff, good and fresh food. Thank you for having gluten-friendly options. I had yogurt bowl with A LOT of fruit. (More fruit than yogurt.) Others had Don Enrique and Americano and Croissant Nutella.

This is the perfect place to start your day in Tarifa. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of the food. We loved the fresh fruit smoothies and the acai bowl is delicious. I'd highly recommend ordering one of their freshly made crepes or the Don Enrique if you like salmon for breakfast. We'll definitely be back when we return to Tarifa!
