I got off the boat from Morocco (See: 3 months in morocco by campervan) and randomly stopped in the nearest town, Tarifa, in the South of Spain.
I met a load of other vanners and stayed for a few weeks. I love this place. Let me show you some of Tarifa. Come here if you’re in a van!
Tarifa is here…
There are loads of vans along the beach
The van community is good around here – a mixture of weekend and full time people staying here for the summer
I met loads of other vanners
And a family that live in this bus
You HAVE to see inside this bus – I’ll do a separate post on it – stay tuned
Summer days out on the grass
There’s a strong digital nomad community in the town
All these people are location independent with portable businesses they can run from anywhere in the world with just a laptop – THAT is the future. Tarifa hosts a lot of digital nomads and has a popular coworking space (La Cocotera) open for everyone
There are some good biking routes near the town
It feels like proper Spain here
Oh yeah the land across the sea is Morocco
These waters are home to hundreds of dolphins and whales
This bit of sea, Strait of Gibraltar, is where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic
It’s a really popular kite surfing spot
Tarifa is known at ‘the wind capital’ – there’s hardly ever two consecutive non-windy days
This is the sunset view from my van roof
And down the road is another good beach and van area
This is the pig field just a couple of km west down the road. There are some more permanent people living here and you can drive your van right up to the beach
It was nice coming back to here after spending the winter in Morocco. I did miss the easiness of Europe. Also see the previous post: 18 reasons I’ll come back to Morocco in my van
