Tarifa Travel Info

Location: Tarifa is located in the Cadiz province of Spain, on the most southern point of the European Continent.
Climate: Tarifa is situated in a zone with a warm and humid climate: mild winters and hot summers.
Even during hot summers, temperatures are always quite comfortable, and you never get the intense heat that central Spain suffers. However, the high level of humidity makes nights pretty chilly, so you will need warm clothes, especially if the wind blows strong.
During the winter it rains quite often but not usually for the length of the day. Winter days can be from warm weather to very rainy and very cold. Temperatures during cold and clear winter nights can drop to 0°C in exceptional cases. However the average low will be about 10°C.
Rental cars and transport: A rental car is recommended. Driving from Malaga to Tarifa will take you about 1.5 hours, from Jerez to Tarifa about 1 hour.
Currency & banking: Euro. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere.
All important Spanish banks have a dependency in Tarifa. The biggest problem is the long waiting time spent for any transaction, all year round.
