Tarifa, Andalucia

Where you can enjoy a casual life style for awhile.

Tarifa is located in Andalucia at the Southern tip of Spain where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic meet. The African continent lies only 14 kilometers away and can be reached by ferry directly. The arabic influence reflects in the alleys and colorful flower-decorated courtyards.

Mass tourism has never made it down here. The local inhabitants (16'000 people) support our Spanish language programs. Spanish is the only language to communicate with the locals because most of them do not speak any foreign languages.

This small town became popular because of the variety of outdoor sport activities it offers, especially windsurfing and kitesurfing. Tarifa guarantees you a balance of a study- and fun vacation.

In spite of the recent foreign influences the traditions are still very much alive.
