Hello, We are traveling to Tarifa and Cadiz in August. We are not going to windsurf, but to experience the old charm. Does anyone have ideas for hotels and location at either Tarifa or Cadiz?

We stayed at the Hotel Almadea just outside the walls - quite reasonable and quiet. Breakfast not so good. - Not much to do here except wind surf and to catch a boat to Tangiers. Yes old charm but only deserves a day at most. Further down the road it Gibralter. Now there is something to see. If you decide to go make sure you take a car tour(bottom of funicular) you get to see 3 times as much. Also if you are driving park outside the border( you are travelling from Spain into a British holding) make sure you take your passport.
Great history and to explore.
Cannot comment on Cadiz
Enjoy Spain- great country.

Just returned - We stayed at Hurricane Hotel between Tarifa & Cadiz. Great dinner! Never found a place in the walled city to stop or stay. Stopped in Gibraltar, too. Had lunch, met some British gentlemen at next table who said NO funicular as you don't see much - take the taxi (9 passenger). maybe $40 - and we had a wonderful personable taxi driver who explained the history in English & then asked us to excuse him so he could explain in Spanish. He also translated for us - there were 6 spanish & we-2 americans in his cab.
