If
you
want
to
see
Morocco
without
actually
risking
life
and
limb
there,
go
to
Tarifa
-
the
coast
of
North
Africa
and
the
Rif
mountains
are
clearly
visible
from
this
the
most
southerly
of
towns
in
mainland
Spain!
Seriously
though,
Tarifa
is
an
interesting
place
to
visit
with
many
features
that
reflect
its
historic
past.
Its
geographic
location
has
played
a
big
part
in
its
history
-
it
is
the
southernmost
town
of
Europe
and
only
8
miles
from
North
Africa
-
so
it
has
been
pretty
much
open
to
all
manner
of
civilisations
since
the
dawn
of
time.
Much
of
Tarifa
exhibits
a
distinctly
Moorish
character
with
its
narrow,
winding
streets
and
whitewashed
houses.
Entry
into
the
old
quarter
is
through
a
particularly
fine
archway
-
the
Puerta
de
Jerez.
Nearby
is
the
Castillo
de
Guzman,
a
10th-century
medieval
fortress.
