Zaboravite Bali, zaboravite skupe egzotične destinacije koje vam prazne novčanik! Ako ste mislili da je daleki Bali sa palmama, tirkiznim morem i beskrajnim peščanim plažama samo za bogate, vreme je da se probudite i čujete za Tarifu – španski grad na samom jugu Andaluzije koji je bukvalno evropski odgovor na Bali, ali za džep običnog smrtnika.
Raj na obali Atlantika sa cenama koje će vas šokirati
Tarifa se nalazi na obali poznatoj kao Costa de la Luz, ili Obala svetlosti, i nudi zlatne plaže i kristalno čistu vodu.

Tarifa – The European Bali for Pennies!
Forget Bali and expensive exotic destinations that drain your wallet! If you thought the faraway Bali with palm trees, turquoise sea, and endless sandy beaches was only for the rich, it’s time to wake up and hear about Tarifa – a Spanish town at the southern tip of Andalusia that is literally Europe’s answer to Bali, but for the average Joe.
A paradise on the Atlantic coast with prices that will shock you
Tarifa is located on the Costa de la Luz, or Coast of Light, offering golden beaches and crystal-clear water. Summer temperatures hover around a pleasant 25 degrees Celsius, and Morocco is just 14 kilometers away – yes, you read that right, you can literally hop to another continent the same day by ferry from Tarifa!
Beaches like Playa de Bolonia and Playa de Los Lances are described as spectacular and perfect for unforgettable sunsets. Kitesurfing and windsurfing lovers are in heaven here thanks to perfect winds. Beginners can take lessons in multiple languages.
Food and drinks that won’t break the bank
After a day on the board, relax at beach bars where cocktails cost only 3 euros during happy hour. Main dishes in restaurants range from 12 to 18 euros, and tapas from 3 to 6 euros. Daily menus with starter, main course, and drink are available for 10 to 15 euros. A portion of swordfish costs about 15 to 20 euros, and shellfish for two around 30 euros.
