| We're off to see the dolphins and they even promised us whales. The town of Tarifa, in the background, is a windsurfers' mecca because of the strong winds around the straights of Gibraltar. It has a distinctive hippie-atmosphere, with lots of cool shops and beautiful people. |
| Our little compact camera didn't perform quite as well as Christi's hi-tech equipment but we did get to see some playful dolphins. The whales didn't show up, according to the boat's staff they are busy with their young. |
| We also went to Jerez, where they make sherry but also have a famous horse-academy, the other famous one is in Vienna. No pictures allowed during the show, and we really missed Sophie that day. |
| From the fortified walls of Tarifa you can see Africa on a clear day. The idea that you are looking at another continent is exciting and strange. You could even see the lights on the Moroccan shores ! |
| We found a nice beach cafe that played mostly flamenco music and also the band 'Radio Tarifa' which has influences from arab music as well as lounge and free-jazz. Check them out on the internet, you won't be disappointed. |
