Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share some of my adventures and interesting details I saw during my walk around off the beaten streets in southern Spain ๐ช๐ธ To be precise: โThe small streets of the old town of TARIFA.โ
With this post Iโm joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
โผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! or at @tattoodjay โs Post: โWednesday Walk the Sawmillโ
It will tell you also the rules of joining in, at the end of his post about this #wednesdaywalk ๐ Do join us, itโs fun ๐คฉ
Todayโs selection will be of 25 photographs, where I take you along on a walk through the cute town of TARIFA.
I visited this area on Friday 19 September 2022 ๐
The Photographs in this post are taken with my iPhone ๐ฑ
I will follow the time stamps on my photographs. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #Walk ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป discovering everything and see the little #details through my eyes. ๐
Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow marker :
Letโs start our WALK:
Are you coming along? ๐๐
We start walking at the far end of Tarifa where we park our car and have some lunch first at one of our favourite restaurants there: SURLA
Do check it out when you are in the area, I highly recommend it. It is next to the beach and always parking around there.
Their website: You find here! SURLA
I will post another day about the lunch we had there ๐๐ค as today I want to show you more from the old town.
We walked a bit and entered the old town through the townโs gate you see in the first photo.
Walking through the main streets we see little shops:
Beautiful decorations around buildings entrances, in the distance we see courtyards looking in. ๐
This little door captured my eyesโฆ behind is the water meterโฆ see how they created a tap ๐ฐ out of the stone ๐ค how cool is that.
A bit further we walk pass a little square with a church. I see this beautiful bougainvillaea ๐บ
And underneathโฆ this trumpet plant.
A closer lookโฆ and these trumpet shaped flowers. ๐ beautifulโฆ yep, letโs share #alwaysaflower ๐ฅฐ
Some streets furtherโฆ we are just walking randomly, turning corners and entering small streets. We ended up here. A cute courtyard surrounded by buildings and there are market stalls and little shops. Also artworks can be found around it ๐
On one of the walls we see a few small tiles depicting the following scene:
Above it we find the descriptionโฆ
I translated most of it for you in English:
โFishing tradition:
Original art from Manuel Reinรฉ.
This panel of tiles was painted in 2014 by the ceramist Tarifeรฑa Mariluz Muรฑoz.
It consists of 250 tiles of 20 x 20 cm. With a total dimension of 5x2 m.
Manuel Reinรฉ recreates other times in which does not yet exist the Fishing harbour and shows us the ships stranded on the beach.
The art of cleaning the tuna on the beach, the animals that pull the carts as a means of transport and weighing with the scale.
It is a clear tribute of the author to a whole way of life! Already disappeared the fishery of tuna.
Here we see the large mural of tiles 2 x 5 meters.
We see this stall in the market. Cold meat is displayed.
We exit now this area and wander through some more small streets.
Some houses have an entrance that lays back and is covered. The owners of this house decorated it beautifully ๐
Lots of mosaic and photos are displayed on the walls. ๐
You see areas of the surroundings of Tarifa.
The streets are getting steeperโฆ as we climb up I see this hotel that stands out with itโs faรงade.
Look at itโs detailsโฆ the old and new and renovated parts all show. ๐ค
Small streets with white washed housesโฆ
A #horses head and itโs #shadows.
The entrance gate againโฆ
Some funny toys for the tourists from Tarifa ๐
Another entrance to the inside of buildings that are around a courtyard. Love the plantsโฆ ๐ชด๐ชด๐ชด
Through a gate we peek insideโฆ and see this courtyard. It has a few benches and a statue at the far end. I canโt enterโฆ but take this photo for you ๐
And as Tarifa is a walled townโฆ we see here part of the wall and itโs towers/fortification ๐
Now we walk back againโฆ in the opposite direction to the car. More will be shared in the future about this cute town as I have visited it many times in the last 7 years ๐
And thatโs all for todayโs post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐๐๐ป Even some #artworks once in a while will come by ๐จ

It looks like a place worth visiting. I have always wanted to make a trip to different places in southern Spain because I only have visited Seville in the south. And Tarifa seems to be a gorgeous town. Thank you for the virtual tour:)
Good morning and have a beautiful day when you wake up ๐ค๐ธ
Thank you so much @coquicoin ๐๐ป๐
Hope you can visit it one day, as it is such a special cute town. So different from the other towns here in the south. It has a very arty and bohemian feel to it. Lots of surfers and kite surfers too.
Happy I could share it virtual with you today.
Have a wonderful Friday ๐๐ป๐ฅฐ๐ค

Looks like a cool town. I like all of the different tile decorations on the buildings. Things like that give places so much character and charm.
Indeed things like that give a place so much character. Even if it is small.
I like visiting Tarifa, I even lived there for a little while.
Itโs pretty cool in every season ๐๐ป๐
Have an awesome evening and enjoy your Thursday!

Looks like a beautiful spot for sure! Love the style of the buildings that are near the water like that, the style is a lot better than so many others these days!
Itโs such a cute placeโฆ and not many villages around it either.
The style is very cool. I lived there half a year a few years agoโฆ so know it well.
Iโm always drawn to it and keep visiting it. ๐
Have a great day further @cmplxty ๐๐ป๐
I never made it there when I was in Spain, but my wife had mentioned visiting it there a few times and how lovely it was
Nice to see it now and see she was right it is so beautiful
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, I always love seeing all the walks shared from around the world, but as I am not getting out for as many walks at the moment I am especially loving the walks all around the world its like a virtual world tour
Thatโs a shame, when you travel to southern Spain one day, do visit it. It is so charming. So many details and character. I love this town. I even lived there a while a few years ago.
But even with that, I always find new things ๐
Thank you so much @tattoodjay ๐๐ป๐ for joining me.
Happy to be here and share!
Have a great evening ๐
always a pleasure to visit your posts :)
have a great day
hows the packing going
Thanks a lot @tattoodjay ๐๐ป๐
Goodโฆ only thing left is box the television this evening. Tomorrow morning at 8 am the movers come and pick all up. Saturday we clean this rental and give it back to the owners for check. Than we drive to Malaga for a few nights and Monday we fly out of Spain โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐ sooooo close now.
Exciting days!
Have a great day further too ๐
Ohh yeahmust be so exciting, relax and enjoy the break in Malaga
Yesโฆ ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ
We will truly enjoy Malaga for a small break. Thank you kindly @tattoodjay
thats great
Cheers
I love historical places! Wow, this looks like a fascinating place to explore. Gotta love the mix of the old and new. Here there is Intramuros, the walled city in Manila. The old town of Tarifa kinda reminds me of some of the structures one could see in Intramuros. I love your walking tours. It's great to be part of them. An advance happy weekend...
