Tarifa

Our campsite is 5 miles from the port of Tarifa and set in pine trees 400 metres
from a beautiful sandy beach. The walks through the wooded hills behind the beach give some lovely views, as per the picture that looks towards Tarifa with the hills of Morocco in the distance. Tarifa is reputedly the windsurfing capital of Spain and the wind’s certainly blown hard for most of the time we’ve been here. Doesn’t bode too well for the crossing tomorrow!


To put all our anxieties and exertions into perspective – just look at this guy, the dung beetle. All he’s worried about is rolling his ball of dung up the slope. Kind of “pack up your troubles in your old kit bag” attitude.


And to finish, a picture of the adorable little stray dog who has befriended us. We’re very tempted to take him with us, but without the doggie passport tests, injections and paperwork, the Spanish authorities won’t let him back in on or return from Morocco.
