If you want a truly memorable wedding in an exotic island, then you should head to the southernmost tip of Europe, to Tarifa in Spain. It is only 14 km from the coasts of North Africa. Apart from the various things to do, you can have your wedding in a beach which has spectacular views of the Rif Mountains of Africa across the water. On the hills behind Tarifa are hundreds of wind turbines generating enough power for a small town. It is one of the largest wind farms in Europe.

Ten kilometers of white sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside and some of the best windsurfing conditions in Europe have established Tarifa as a true surfer’s paradise. Tarifa’s wild coastline attracts surfers and nature-lovers alike. Just as famous for its birdwatching as its surfing, there are endless opportunities to explore the rolling countryside. Horse-riding, hang-gliding, kite-surfing, rock-climbing and diving are some of the activities you and your guests can indulge in. Tarifa has some excellent hotels, mainly located to the north of the town, so if you just want to relax, there’s plenty of choice.

The little fishing town of Tarifa is equally charming. The narrow cobbled streets, tumbling jasmine and beautiful wrought-iron rejas make Tarifa old town a lovely place for a stroll. The original castellated city walls of this ancient town are tightly woven into the fabric of the whitewashed houses. Local fishermen still use the Almadraba method of fishing using a circle of boats and nets, a practice which has not changed since 13th Century. The Tuna fishing season generally starts at the end of March and runs for about three months.

The highlight of the wedding can be a surprise to your guests. Take them whale watching. The fascinating experience of navigating the Strait of Gibraltar gains an emotional highlight, when the lovable inhabitants of these waters, whales and dolphins, approach the boats to show themselves. You can film and photograph the unforgettable encounters with dolphins and pilot whales looking at the guests.
