Tarifa: the most southerly town in continental Europe

As enjoyable as villa holidays on the Costa del Sol are, sometimes it’s good to get out and about and explore areas that are a little more off the beaten track. Visitors to the Costa del Sol will often take day trips to well-known destinations like Mijas, Puerto Banus and Marbella, but there’s a certain reluctance to venture further afield. It’s a shame really, as if you were only to go that extra mile you’d discover some real gems. Take Tarifa for example. It’s a name you’ll hear a lot on the Costa del Sol. It’s trendy resort popular with the younger generation, but maybe for that reason not too many people visit it by chance. If you get the chance we’d definitely recommend a trip to Tarifa; you certainly won’t regret it.

Duty Free Allowances

Duty free shopping is all part of going on holiday.  The arrival at the airport gives you free reign to buy yourself a new perfume, get the latest sunglasses and a litre of your favourite tipple before you’ve even jetted off anywhere!  However, if you are travelling within the EU, as lots of us do every summer, you can’t take full advantage of duty free shopping as the sale of duty free alcohol and cigarettes was abolished in 1999.  This doesn’t mean that you can’t get slightly cheaper offers than you would on the high street but you won’t get the same bargain prices as those passengers travelling outside of the EU.  Here’s our guide to how much duty free you can stock up on when travelling inside and outside of the EU…
