Cultural life in Tarifa

There is more to Tarifa than surf contests.

Tarifa is booming with culture. Flamenco concerts are nothing rare here (Bar Al-Medina). A great reggae festival is held in July, as well as many events in the bull-fighting arena. In the theatre of Alameda, which also serves as the cinema in Tarifa, stage performances are held frequently.

Of course most of the cultural highlights take place in the high season. In summer there is live music almost every day at Tanakas Plaza, right in front of the club Tanakas.

The premier time of cultural activities in Tarifa is the Feria in the first week of September. This week is basically a week of holidays in Tarifa. The week everyone parties until the wee hours of the morning. Most of the shops close for this week. The virgin of light, there patron saint of Tarifa is carried through the streets being followed by more then 200 horses in traditional outfits.
