Tarifa travel special! All you need to know about kitesurfing in Tarifa

Tarifa is the Kitesurfing mecca of the European mainland. Tarifa is one of the windiest places in this part of the world, and extremely beautiful. It has became the home for several kitesurfers during the spring months, a lot of pro’s and teamriders gather here for practicing during March to June. Do not be too surprised if the kite that you land is world champion Alex pastors or Liam Whaleys, two of the pro’s that have Tarifa as their home spot. Kitesurfing in Tarifa can be absolutely gorgeous, or insanely gusty, but two things are sure, you will have a good time, and you will learn stuff.
