When lessons are over, you can relax and unwind on the beach or head into town. Tarifa is a charming former fishing village with narrow cobble-stone streets, tumbling jasmine and beautiful old colonial houses. There’s plenty to explore both by day and night. Settle down in a café and tuck into the delicious local fare, all washed down with plenty of sangria of course. And to cap off the perfect day, retire to your lovely beachside hotel for a late night dip. Hotel Hurricane is the ideal base for your weekend in the sun.
You’ll find it hard to drag yourself away on Sunday evening. Just make sure you reach the airport on time otherwise you may have some explaining to do on Monday morning.
