Learn Spanish in Tarifa, Spain!
Tarifa’s unique geographical position, on a peninsula at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea means that a Spanish course in Tarifa is like nowhere else in the world! For one thing, nearly every day is a good day to windsurf, kitesurf or enjoy life outdoors. What’s more, the winds that come off the Atlantic not only keep surfers happy, but also mean that it never gets too hot.
The beaches are unspoilt, the waters are clear and Tarifa’s old town is arguably one of the most beautiful in Andalucia. Whatever you’re doing in Tarifa, whether it’s making the most of the waves and the wind, or simply relaxing, you’ll have one of the most arresting views in Europe. At night, you can see the twinkling lights of Morocco across the water, whilst during the day, you can see the Africa’s Rif Mountains.
