Hands down best view of Tarifa, Africa and Gibraltar straits. This hidden gem, that few people know is a go to meat restaurant, fish is also great. 15 mins drive from town, a great place to go after spending the day at Valdevaqueros or Bolonia beach. Especially in summer when traffic is bad. I would call beforehand and reserve a table on the terrace.

If Levante is blowing, go to this place and watch the kitesurfer's fly, few places in the world you can experience such a high level, this is because most of the Pro kitesurfes live in Tarifa, and Train in Balneario. It is a small and very dangerous spot (due to the off-shore winds) so if your level is not high then I would suggest leave it to the pros. Valdevaqueros offers better conditions for all levels.
