Embrace the Winter Winds

Tarifa, the southernmost point of mainland Europe, is a place where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and where the winds are as much a part of the landscape as the golden sands and azure waters. This weekend, as the winter winds dance across the beaches, it’s the perfect time to dive into the exhilarating world of kitesurfing.

Start your day with a private kitesurfing lesson at KitePassion on either January 11th or 12th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The experienced instructors at KitePassion Tarifa Kiteschool are ready to share their passion for the sport, ensuring you not only learn the basics but also feel the thrill of harnessing the wind. As one reviewer noted on September 24, 2024:

Passion transmitted - Thank you Diego, Martín and Juan for your excellent treatment, professionalism and “passion” transmitted, which have made me want to continue challenging the wind. To be continued. See you soon. Eskerrik asko denagatik benetan!

The moderate winds, reaching up to 17.9 mph on January 11th, provide the perfect conditions for beginners and seasoned kitesurfers alike. With the sun peeking through the clouds, the scene is set for an unforgettable morning on the water.

Moroccan Adventures Await

After a morning of kitesurfing, take a leisurely stroll through the charming streets of Tarifa. The town’s rich history is evident in its architecture, with influences from both Spanish and Moorish cultures. As you wander, let the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of flamenco music guide you to a cozy café for a well-deserved break.

In the afternoon, consider a short ferry ride to Tangier, Morocco. The crossing is a mere 35 minutes, offering a tantalizing glimpse of North Africa. Once there, explore the bustling medinas, where vibrant colors and exotic scents create a sensory feast. The clear skies and mild temperatures make it an ideal day for exploring the narrow alleyways and discovering hidden gems.

Back in Tarifa, as the sun sets, the town comes alive with a vibrant nightlife. Enjoy tapas at a local bar, where the flavors of Andalusia are perfectly paired with a glass of local sherry. The evening is yours to savor, as the gentle hum of the town provides a soothing backdrop.

On January 12th, the winds pick up, reaching speeds of up to 27.3 mph, making it an exciting day for kitesurfing enthusiasts. Head back to the beach for another session, this time with Explora Watersports.
