Trips from Jerez
Tarifa: old town, fortress and wind-swept beaches
A historic centre and a choice of Los Lances or Valdevaqueros for a coastal afternoon.
Tarifa combines a fortified old town with Atlantic beaches known for wind sports and wildlife watching.
Bolonia has a separate guide: its Roman ruins and dune deserve time of their own.
