Tarifa, am östliche Ende der Costa de la Luz in der andalusischen Provinz Cádiz (Spanien) gelegen, ist die südlichste Stadt Europas und der südlichste Festlandspunkt des Kontinents. Durch die strategisch bedeutende Lage an der engsten Stelle der Straße von Gibraltar war Tarifa immer wieder Schauplatz historischer Ereignisse. Heute ist die Stadt neben Hoʻokipa auf Hawaii und Fuerteventura (Kanarische Inseln) eine der „Welthauptstädte“ für Wind- und Kite-Surfer.
