Tarifa

Tarifa, (Cádiz - Andalucía) Spain

Tarifa is a wonderful town on the southernmost coast of Spain and is considered the southernmost point of the European continent as well.  It is a laid-back whitewashed town full of narrow labyrnth-like streets and was under Muslim rule between 710-1292.  The church in the picture (San Mateo) was built on the remains of an ancient mosque in 1506.

This picture was taken from the roof-top of one of the coolest places I've ever stayed, Pensión Correo, an old restored house with a patio in the heart of the historical town center.
