Getting there

Holidays in Tarifa, Spain

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Gibraltar airport, a 45-minute drive from Tarifa, is on British territory, so it’s a bright idea to walk across the border and pick up your hire car or head to the taxi rank on the Spanish side, La Linea. Internal flights from elsewhere in Spain will land you at Jerez airport, 120km to the west.
Trains
There are no rail services on the Costa de la Luz.
Automobiles
Once you arrive in Tarifa, which is signposted left off the N340 from La Linea, assuming you’re headed for the old town or casco, you might want to park up and locate the hotel before you get lost among the cobbles and those winding alleyways that eat wing-mirrors for breakfast.
