Where to stay in Tarifa
Staying in the old town puts you within walking distance of the town-centre market and the ferry port. Try Casco Antiguo for a central base, or Hurricane Hotel if you want somewhere with more character just outside the centre.
If you would rather be closer to the beach and the kitesurfing strip, the road out along the N-340 has more options. Hotel Misiana is a solid mid-range pick in the old town and an easy walk back after a morning at the stalls.

Market days in Tarifa
There is a market somewhere in the municipality on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with one trading on each of those days. Monday, Thursday and Saturday have none. The usual hours are 9am to 2pm, and traders start packing up before the closing time, so arrive by midday.
Street markets in Tarifa
All three of the town's markets are outdoor street markets, weekly rather than monthly, and all of them are done by early afternoon. The largest is the Bolonia Municipal Street Market at 25 stalls, out along the coast near the Baelo Claudia ruins rather than in Tarifa itself, so it pairs with a morning at Bolonia beach. The town-centre market matches it for size and is the one you can walk to from the old town.
Food is not what these markets are for. The categories on sale across all three are clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, handicrafts, flowers and plants, and books, so this is browsing rather than a weekly shop. Each market's day, hours and stall count is listed on the street markets in this city page.
What day is the market in Tarifa?
