People talk about the mystic energy in Tarifa.
Two great oceans meeting: The Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Two great land masses so close together: Africa and Europe. Wide open spaces on land, the beaches and the sea.
Or maybe just being so far South, away from the busy and congested industrial world of Northern Europe, helps to Free your Mind (as one kite school is called – www.freeyourmindexperience.com). But drawn together here are a rather special group of people – not all hippies – who just want to be different and to concentrate their own energy on something at which they want to excel.
Writers, painters, sculptors (web) designers photographers and lovers of Adventure.
Today we bring you; 10 Sporting Heroes living in Tarifa – The Adventure Capital of Europe.
