Tarifa is such a great place. Its just over an hour away yet you feel a million miles. We went today and wish we to go every weekend, simply because you really feel you are on holiday. Because believe it or not, when you live here, work etc, you need to get away and have that holiday feeling.
You can get very complacent, having people over all the time (which I do love), sitting by the pool, cooking, tidying, cleaning and the weekends should feel like weekends, especially for my OH who works very hard Monday to Friday and weekends is family time.
We went along with friends today and both made packed lunches so it was going to be cheapish day....but....we got there about 11ish and it was rather chilly and cloudy and we were all a bit....down. It didnt look or feel very nice the weather. We were sitting there with towels around us shivering (well us girls). So as you do, in moments like these, you reach for the food and we all polished of our lunch by about 11.30am this morning! Cheese, ham, chorizo sandwiches, cous cous, fruit, biscuits.
By about 2.30 all hungry again and went up to the chiringuito for our second lunch of the day. Food was ok but did seem rather alot for what we ate. 103€ for 4 adults 3 kids and only had 1 course each and an ice cream but you are sitting on a fantastic beach.
It was a bit windy today although the guys and kids did get to do their body boarding for a few hours. Lots of kite surfers and Life Guards around too which is good to see.
Absolutely knackered and I didnt really do much other than pack, sit and sunbath, talk and then unpack. Got very very red nose....do make sure you reapply your cream every hour or so!
Love Tarifa, so cool and relaxed
