We had only one night in Tarifa, and arrived very late. I had read in a guide ahead of our trip,…read morethat the Plaza del Miramar has a wonderful view of the lights of Tangeirs at night. I was so excited to see Africa, I had to go as soon as we checked in to our hotel. Our hotelier gave us a local map and showed us how to drive along the Plaza del Miramar (on the same-named road), to see a great view! It was so cool! If you are walking through the plaza, there is a viewing platform for even better views! But driving or walking, the views are definitely worth seeking! Prior to this trip, I (and many Americans I know) thought that Gibraltar was the southernmost city in Spain, but, no way José, it is actually Tarifa. I had been through Andalucia years before, as a teen, and had glimpsed the African continent, but had never gotten as close as I did in Tarifa. Plaza del Miramar gave us a great view, even at night! So exciting!

I am glad the tour bus took us to Europa Point while sightseeing Gibraltar.

You can literally see Africa from here on a clear day. It's a romantic spot that'll always be special in my heart. Quiet, bit breezy, a nice break from the action. A place that makes you reflect about the world we live in, with various cultures that meet. There's the lighthouse, big and bright and the beautiful white mosque building with mountains behinds. That's all. And the Mediterranean sea spreading out. It's fascinating and if you'll go in the area, this is a wonderful spot to visit. Unique and beautiful. Sure, it just enticed me some more to visit Morocco, being so close to it, but I'll leave it for some other time. Although, it's calling my name....

It's where Europe meets Africa and it has a bit of both worlds! Breathtaking! I am glad I had some time to spend here, on the way to Ronda.

I loved their market, rich in merchandise, smells and local flavors. The streets are cute and charming. Nice views! Algeciras is off the beaten path, but if you are in the area, check it out even for 2 hours, it is so worth it! Very unique!
