The night we arrived it was a little chilly and foggy, Stepping through the portal we could barely see down the "alleys", but as we ventured on we found a very nice cafe. We stopped and enjoyed coffee at one of their outdoor tables. It was late and I would love to see more, but will have to leave that for another time.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't see any reference to "Strolling the streets, alleyways and squares of the old town" in the list of things to do in Tarifa! Yes, the Puerta de Jerez is lovely, but it's what's beyond it that I found fascinating, and well worth dedicating a fair amount of time to.

If you read reviews of nearby towns just across the water in Morocco, people put considerable effort into reviewing their explorations of the old medinas - well in my opinion Tarifa's "medina" is just as worthy, and due to the lack of people who see you as a walking money bag, a lot more relaxing. I strolled for hours down alleyways, often to find small secluded squares at the other end just waiting to be seen. Exiting the squares on the opposite side lead to more intriguing areas to explore. This is also where you will find small shops and bars tucked away, as well as stunning churches and buzzing restaurants.

I know I was there in April, so it wasn't exactly high season, but I did find that during the time I spent exploring the cobbled streets with their whitewashed buildings, the only people I came across were locals going about their daily business. Tourists seem to have given the place a miss. Whether the same could be said in the summer months, I couldn't say - maybe I'll have to go back then and see for myself!

I'll take away three lasting memories of the few days I spent in Tarifa, namely the charming old town, the beautiful beaches and the ever-present wind, after all, there is a reason it's known as a surf town!

Beautiful old town of Tarifa, arguably one of the most picturesque towns for miles. Walking through the old streets is magical with cafes, bars and restaurants dotted everywhere. Get lost in the maze of backstreets explore and use the narrow pathways to hide from the heat of the sun.

We were dissapointed by the city of Jerez. It was crowded with tourists and the city should invest in itself. We didn't like the atmosphere in town and decided to leave again after two hours. A no go for us the next time we're in Andalusia.

The Puerta de Jerez is a beautiful archway a part of the medieval entrance into Tarifa. It is a must see if you are in the town.

Just a door? It's the official entrance by land. Built after the reconquest, one of th monuments of Tarifa it's also the beginning or the finish line of the shops area in the inner village

A well preserved entrance to the old part of Tarifa. Glad that this remains when other parts of the wall are gone. Worth noting that you can walk part of the walls when paying an entrance to see the castle (pay €5 instead of €4 and a walk on part of the wall is included).

The gate is in excellent condition and has good features. The locals sit outside it chatting away while everyone walks in and out. It doesn't take long to view but is worth seeing. Its not far from the inside market or the castle. A lovely and very popular cake shop on the main street back sells wonderful cakes.

This is the port to the old town of Tarifa. Behind Puerta de Jerez there is a lot of treasures to be found such as directly to the left you have the Bar Bossa. If you walk down the street you soon find Bar Anca curry the serves the best Jamon in spain and after that Cafe Dies and La Tribue that are famous hangouts for all nice people in Tarifa.
Tarifa delivers and it all starts with the Puerta de Jerez!
