Fact: You can see Morocco from Tarifa, when its not too cloudy.
The view of Morocco as we drove into Tarifa was terrific! As we approached Tarifa we were a little taken aback by the proximity of the mountains of Morocco. We had Africa on one side of us and the glowing red sunset above the clouds behind the wind turbines on the other. Picture perfect!
Our visit to Tarifa was brief, we wandered along the beach and around the small town. We had a delightful swim, finding the water a little warmer than the Portuguese coast and soaked up some rays the European way (we felt we were overdressed). The beach had a different feel to the other beaches we had been to, it felt tropical, with palm trees and white sand for miles.
We pondered whether we could squeeze in a fleeting trip to Morocco.... We couldn't, so it's on the list!!
