Once a trading post owned by both the British and the French, as Villa Bens, Tarfaya became Spanish from 1916 and capital of the southern zone of the Spanish protectorate of Morocco from 1920 to 1958. These days Tarfaya is an oppressively quiet place, with a few old sandblown Spanish colonial buildings and several wrecked ships.

Airy, warm and full of life; a Cape Town New Year’s experience is something that people carry home with them. New Year’s Eve in Cape Town...
Ins and outs
Getting there
Tarfaya lies southwest of Tan Tan on a well-metalled road. A grand taxi from Laâyoune to Tarfaya (117 km, some sand drifting onto road) takes 1½ hours and costs 40dh. A Canaries–Tarfaya ferry crossing was injecting new life into the town until the boat was wrecked off the Moroccan coast. The line may start running again at some point.
