Kitesurfing trip to Spain Tarifa?

Question

Wanting to go kitesurfing in Tarifa in August. Very hard to find accommodation for that month in Tarifa. Would it be ok to find a place in

a) Gibraltar

b) Malaga

c) Jerez

and just drive to Tarifa for kitesurfing?

I would appreciate some details on travel time and accomodations, thanks

Answer 1

August is always difficult.

The places you mention are far from Tarifa and I would not like to drive back there all stiff and tired after a heavy day's surfing.

Try the Hotel Reina Christina in Algeciras. It often has rooms available in August. Haggle.

There are a number road-side hotels on the road to Chiclana / Cadiz which are not near the sea. e.g Tahivilla (ugh!) which is a collection of houses near a filling station in the middle of nowhere. But it has some rooms.

My tip would be go inland. Have a look at Google earth and guiacampsa.com
