| Casa de la Luz Tarifa, Spain |

| Tarifa is at the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic leading to a constant breeze or full on levante wind. Despite being at the southern most point in Spain, even in summer the temperatures are never too hot. Generally the climate is warm and dry. During the winter months of January to March it can rain heavily in short bursts, maintaining temperatures between 15º C and 20º C. In summer it is dry with the sea breeze keeping the air temperature below 30º C and for this reason it is easy to get a sunburn. Don't forget the suncream! During the summer a shorty is all you require for water sports but in winter at least 3mm is necessary. As to other outdoor activities, you will never need a ski jacket but you do need jumpers and some sort of jacket in winter and light sweaters for cooler summer evenings. |
