They were pretty impressive, in their day from around 100BC to 700AD this were an important tuna processing area. Here, on an industrial scale. The fish processing areas are still clearly visible. The odd thing being is that if you didn't search them out you’d never figure they were here. Not a single tourist sign until you’re literally at the gate. Free entrance for EU members.

We liked it here, but given that it was a bank holiday Saturday parking was a bit of a nightmare, we ended up parked on the outskirts and walking, and walking.
The Spanish really don’t do leafy suburbs, if the sun wasn’t shining it would do a good impression of eastern Germany on a November day before the wall came down.
But the old town was great, a bit touristic but cool. Lunch was good, red tuna. A massive steak of tuna, 3 times the size you’d see at home for €15. Not bad.
Apparently Tarifa was known for its high suicide rate, attributed to the constant wind sending people nuts. I can believe it, as much as I liked the place a few hours is enough!!
Even though we’ve done nothing much we're both exhausted by the time we get back, can’t even be bothered to cook or go out for dinner. So a couple of G and T's for dinner instead. It’s tough here😂
