Sports 

---

Owing to the steady increase in popularity of the outdoor leisure activities, Tarifa is now recognized as "unique". It has gained the international reputation of being "La Capital del Viento", the Wind Capital, but not everybody knows that it is also an excellent site for sports like mountain-biking, scuba-diving, free-climbing, surfing, horse-riding, fishing, hang-gliding etc.

This reputation has attracted people from all over and, in turn, shaped Tarifa's traditional society in such a way as to give it international flavour.

Mountain-bike

The great variety of trails makes biking suitable for any level. The climate is ideal all year round. Though Tarifa is on the coast, you can easily reach an altitude of over 800 metres in less than 20 Km. on dirt track; and not to forget that the Alcornocales National Park starts here.
