Mirador del Estrecho, Scenic viewpoint in Tarifa, Spain
Mirador del Estrecho is a viewpoint in Tarifa that sits 300 meters above sea level. From this high point, you can see where two major water bodies meet.
This location served for centuries as a key passage between Europe and Africa for trade and exploration. This role shaped the region and continues to define it.
The viewpoint features displays about bird migration and sea life moving between the two waters. It serves as a place where visitors come to witness these natural patterns.
The site has parking, a terrace area with refreshments, and informational displays about the geography. Visitors can enjoy the views and learn about the natural features.
