We are in the narrowest point between Europe and Africa:  this is a privileged area to observe bird migrations in their journey towards the other continent. Tarifa is one a the few places where you can observe wild vultures feeding in their natural habitat.  The nature surrounding Tarifa is a true gem; the Strait is full of marine species, fishes and sea mammals. Several whale-watching boats can take you to an unforgettable journey across the seas of the Strait, to observe dolphins, whales and tunas.
