Hi all ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Today I want to share some of my adventures and interesting details I saw during my walk around off the beaten streets in southern Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ To be precise: โ€The small streets of the old town of TARIFA.โ€

With this post Iโ€™m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by tattoodjay@tattoodjay and elizacheng@elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

โ€ผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! or at tattoodjay@tattoodjay โ€™s Post: โ€œWednesday Walk the Sawmillโ€œ
It will tell you also the rules of joining in, at the end of his post about this #wednesdaywalk ๐Ÿ˜ Do join us, itโ€™s fun ๐Ÿคฉ

Todayโ€™s selection will be of 25 photographs, where I take you along on a walk through the cute town of TARIFA.
I visited this area on Friday 19 September 2022 ๐Ÿ˜Š
The Photographs in this post are taken with my iPhone ๐Ÿ“ฑ

I will follow the time stamps on my photographs. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #Walk ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป discovering everything and see the little #details through my eyes. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow marker :

Letโ€™s start our WALK:
Are you coming along? ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š

We start walking at the far end of Tarifa where we park our car and have some lunch first at one of our favourite restaurants there: SURLA
Do check it out when you are in the area, I highly recommend it. It is next to the beach and always parking around there.

Their website: You find here! SURLA

I will post another day about the lunch we had there ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค“ as today I want to show you more from the old town.

We walked a bit and entered the old town through the townโ€™s gate you see in the first photo.
Walking through the main streets we see little shops:

Beautiful decorations around buildings entrances, in the distance we see courtyards looking in. ๐Ÿ˜Š

This little door captured my eyesโ€ฆ behind is the water meterโ€ฆ see how they created a tap ๐Ÿšฐ out of the stone ๐Ÿค“ how cool is that.

A bit further we walk pass a little square with a church. I see this beautiful bougainvillaea ๐ŸŒบ

And underneathโ€ฆ this trumpet plant.

A closer lookโ€ฆ and these trumpet shaped flowers. ๐Ÿ˜ beautifulโ€ฆ yep, letโ€™s share #alwaysaflower ๐Ÿฅฐ

Some streets furtherโ€ฆ we are just walking randomly, turning corners and entering small streets. We ended up here. A cute courtyard surrounded by buildings and there are market stalls and little shops. Also artworks can be found around it ๐Ÿ˜Ž

On one of the walls we see a few small tiles depicting the following scene:

Above it we find the descriptionโ€ฆ

I translated most of it for you in English:
โ€œFishing tradition:
Original art from Manuel Reinรฉ.
This panel of tiles was painted in 2014 by the ceramist Tarifeรฑa Mariluz Muรฑoz.

It consists of 250 tiles of 20 x 20 cm. With a total dimension of 5x2 m.
Manuel Reinรฉ recreates other times in which does not yet exist the Fishing harbour and shows us the ships stranded on the beach.

The art of cleaning the tuna on the beach, the animals that pull the carts as a means of transport and weighing with the scale.
It is a clear tribute of the author to a whole way of life! Already disappeared the fishery of tuna.

Here we see the large mural of tiles 2 x 5 meters.

We see this stall in the market. Cold meat is displayed.

We exit now this area and wander through some more small streets.
Some houses have an entrance that lays back and is covered. The owners of this house decorated it beautifully ๐Ÿ˜Š

Lots of mosaic and photos are displayed on the walls. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

You see areas of the surroundings of Tarifa.

The streets are getting steeperโ€ฆ as we climb up I see this hotel that stands out with itโ€™s faรงade.

Look at itโ€™s detailsโ€ฆ the old and new and renovated parts all show. ๐Ÿค“

Small streets with white washed housesโ€ฆ

A #horses head and itโ€™s #shadows.

The entrance gate againโ€ฆ

Some funny toys for the tourists from Tarifa ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Another entrance to the inside of buildings that are around a courtyard. Love the plantsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿชด๐Ÿชด๐Ÿชด

Through a gate we peek insideโ€ฆ and see this courtyard. It has a few benches and a statue at the far end. I canโ€™t enterโ€ฆ but take this photo for you ๐Ÿ˜Š

And as Tarifa is a walled townโ€ฆ we see here part of the wall and itโ€™s towers/fortification ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Now we walk back againโ€ฆ in the opposite direction to the car. More will be shared in the future about this cute town as I have visited it many times in the last 7 years ๐Ÿ˜‰

And thatโ€™s all for todayโ€™s post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Even some #artworks once in a while will come by ๐ŸŽจ
