Last week I spent a very relaxing week in Tarifa, Spain, with a couple of friends.
The week consisted of heading to the beach and BBQ-ing at our villa and a couple of day trips to Tarifa and Gibraltar.
We flew to Malaga from Weze with RyanAir and rented a couple of cars to get us around in the area.
Tarifa
Tarifa is also known as kite surfers paradise because there's usually a strong wind.

One of us brought their kites, and we also rented a wind surf board which is a lot harder than it seems.
Tarifa consists of a relatively modern part with many hotels and apartments and an old town with small alleys. From the harbor, you can take the ferry to Morocco.
Gibraltar
Close to Tarifa lies Gibraltar, a prominent limestone ridge that is part of England. You'll need a passport to enter the city.

The main attraction in Gibraltar is the cable cart to the top of the ridge, from where you have a great view. There's also a ton of monkeys.
After descending from the ridge, we took the car to the most northern edge of Gibraltar.
I'm on a boat
On most of our bucket lists, one of the things was a deep-sea fishing trip, so we found a boat with a captain and spent the day on the ocean.
