Tarifa

1100

So leaving the Brits abroad we drove to Estepona to look for somewhere to stay, but the only hotel we found looked very expensive, so decided to move on to Algericas near Gibraltar.  On approaching via the autoroute it looked a huge city, not what we were looking for at all, trafic was terrible, so moved on to somewhere called Tarifa which has to be the southernmost tip of Spain to the west of Gibraltar.

What a gem of a place - its lovely here and although the hotel is a bit on the expensive side it was worth the extra travelling.

Later at 1800

Out and about here gave us an insight into the old town and port, ferries going south, with its moorish features and hundreds of bars, cafes and restaurants we will have to choose from tonight.  You can see Tangiers from the harbour side, where there are a few fishing boats moored up and rigged for tuna fishing.  I have taken a few pictures but not sure how to upload them on here, will experiment.

Pete  and Min our friends are travelling to Estepona tonight but we are meeting them up in Tavira next week in Portugal along with others that are here as well, Steve and Diane are currently there at the moment and Alan, Sue, Steve and Lisa will be there from 19th.  A right Wheatsheaf get together for all of us.

Apart from a bit of stress with directions driving today was hard work and we are looking forward to spending a couple of nights somewhere nice perhaps north of Cadiz, or Cadiz itself.
