Where to stay in Tarifa
Staying in the old town puts you within easy walking distance of Tarifa's markets and the best of the daily street life. Try Casco Antiguo for a central base, or look at Hurricane Hotel if you want somewhere with more character just outside the centre.
If you prefer to be closer to the beach and the kitesurfing scene, the strip along the N-340 has plenty of options too. Hotel Misiana is a solid mid-range pick right in the heart of the old town and a good spot to return to after a morning browsing the market stalls.

Street markets in Tarifa
The Tarifa Street Market is the town's main weekly market, with 25 outdoor stalls. It stocks clothing, handicrafts, footwear, and books, making it one of the more varied markets along this stretch of the Costa de la Luz.
The Bolonia Municipal Street Market is the largest market in the area by stall count, with 25 stalls set up outdoors on a weekly basis. Expect clothing, handicrafts, flowers, and plants alongside the backdrop of the Bolonia beach and dune landscape.
The Bolonia Flea Market is smaller, with stall numbers unconfirmed, and runs weekly outdoors with a focus on handicrafts. It is worth combining with a visit to the nearby Roman ruins at Baelo Claudia if you are making the trip out from Tarifa.
