8 Days Beginner Kite Surf Camp Tarifa, Spain

Facilities

High Flyers Tarifa is designed in shabby-chic Moroccan style with private rooms and a beautiful terrace to relax on. It creates a fantastic shared accommodation experience, with lovely people staying too. Based in the old town, a stone is thrown away from all the cafes, bars, and restaurants. It has six bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living / dining room, and a great rooftop terrace with barbecue and stunning views of Tarifa castle and port. The rooms for two people can be twin or double configuration.

The house is located in the old town of Tarifa. Best of all, it is in a fantastic location, seconds away from Tarifa’s best restaurants, cafes, and bars, and have all the atmosphere of this historical old walled town at your fingertips. You are also just two minutes walk from the beach. You will be sharing the house with the other High Flyers Tarifa’s guests which helps make a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Most people go home having made new friends.

Tarifa is such a wonderful place for long-term residents as well as holidaymakers. The Mediterranean diet and family life and the sense of community in this town are so special. Tarifa not only has the awesome kitesurfing conditions but also so much more to offer. With stunning scenery and spectacular views across the straits of Gibraltar to Morocco (just 12 kilometers away), you can make any day trips to Tangier, whale watching, great mountain biking, rock climbing, and horse riding on the beach to name a few things. Tarifa has a growing reputation as a gastro town, with a whole host of fabulous restaurants from traditional tapas to modern European and to a superb vegetarian restaurant. The bars and the nightlife are legendary. It’s a good thing the wind mostly comes in the afternoons.
