Hi guys, live in Uk go to tarifa every year. Sept is great warm, but sea still cold as its the Atlantic, still need shortie, Great beach, head out of town for best kiting, wind is weird,as you move west along beach by as little as 1km wind increases so if no wind where you are take trip a little way up beach.Local Spainish riders give way to no one they think they own the beach, will kite straight at you till you move. we stay at hotel Cordinez opposite Dos mares which is on the beach, so we are across road from beach.Cost approx 70 euros per night for twin room, per room. B&B nice an clean, White sheets not off white. Tarifa town is great plenty of bars few clubs all kiters/ windsurfers so no trouble just good atmosphere. Check out Beach on google earth, from Tarifa look at beach from Tarifa, scroll west untill beach swings out to sea,Valdevaqueros, that corner is great, good waves. great bar for food and beer. But does get busy at weekends with locals. Gear in town is BLOODY expensive, Bull kites do good repairs, you can hire kit on beach, but they will not insure it ,you break it you buy it.
If you park in town leave no kit on show, locals WILL nick it. But wander around old town through allyways and there are hundreds of small bars and resturants. Best place to park at Valdevaqueos is follow road west from Tarifa town past Hurricane hotel and opposite Fun hotel is metal arch on dusty track go down this track to park, but get there early and beware locals will just block you in. Have a great trip, im going in June then out to Oz in October. Staying in Maloolaba near Brisbane. Been looking at kite locations there, Noosa looks good or Maroochydoor( think thats how you spell them) Any advice? Anyone
