Private hiking Tarifa tours to unique spots.

Tarifa is a place that was already inhabited by early humans thousands of millennials before, who left their tracks here in many caves through pictographs and petroglyphs. It is the place where according to many scholars, the legendary Atlantis (most likely Tartesses Civilisation) was located before it was damned to disappear for eternity in the mad and punitive waves of the Atlantic Ocean… It is where the oldest tribes of Europe, like Celts or Goths, and the most prominent European civilisations, like Rome, made their home and left marvellous archeological sites. It is where the Phoenicians travelling from the Middle East in Asia found their final destination and called it the “Pillars of Merlkart”, later known as the “Pillars of Heracles” (greek) or “Pillars of Hercules” (roman). This is the place where the first sailors set off on their long distance journeys to “discover” the Americas, which according to some recent archeological finds might have happened thousands of years before Columbus! On the contrary, Africa can be reached within half an hour on a simple ferry boat, which made the coast a very desired prey to the Arab people who arrived and ruled here in mediaeval times. All these prehistoric and ancient peoples were drawn here by the stunning beauty, fertility and the strong energy of this land. And till modern times this powerful site continues to offer us a space for relaxation, contemplation, empowerment and inner growth. The municipality of Tarifa is where Paulo Coelho wrote his most famous piece ‘The Alchemist‘. It is also a place where the protagonist of the book – Santiago decides to live his “personal legend” and starts his journey to the “soul of the world”. Allow yourself to be drawn by the mystic, magic and the ALCHEMY of this sacred site.
