Climate

Tarifa is situated in a zone with a warm and humid climate: mild winters and hot summers. Even during hot summers, temperatures are always quite comfortable, and you never get the intense heat that central Spain suffers. However, the high level of humidity makes nights pretty chilly, so you will need warm clothes, especially if the wind blows strong.

During the winter it rains quite often but not usually for the length of the day. Winter days can be from warm weather to very rainy and very cold. Temperatures during cold and clear winter nights can drop to 0°C in exceptional cases. However the average low will be about 10°C.

Currency & banking

Euro. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere. All important Spanish banks have a dependency in Tarifa. The biggest problem is the long waiting time spent for any transaction, all year round.
