I love shopping for men’s fashion at Sam Newman, which happens to be one of my favourite stores. The best part is that they also have a branch here in Madrid! This brand is all about bringing elegance and comfort to your everyday wear, and what’s more, all their garments are ethically produced in factories located in Spain and Portugal.

Where Can I Find a Flat White Coffee?
A Flat White is an espresso-based drink with a strong taste of coffee and is made with a small amount of steamed milk and a thin layer of microform (for those who still ask me what it is, and why I am obsessed with it).
Surla Tarfia is your spot! This cosy café/restaurant a stone’s throw away from the beach boasts an incredible interior and a warm atmosphere. Not only can you get the best coffee in town, but you can also work from there and enjoy delicious food. The easy-going vibe is guaranteed, making it a perfect place to relax.

Always at Café del Mar. Located on the shore of Los Lances Beach, the freshest restaurant in Tarifa offers a delightful blend of flavours, colours, aromas, and textures in dishes representing exotic countries.

Once you are in this area you can’t miss the Afrikana Beach Bar which offers live performances and a great atmosphere.
A Secret Date Spot
One of the most enchanting spots in Tarifa is undoubtedly the Beach Bar Hurricane, nestled among subtropical gardens that lead to miles of unspoiled beaches. From here, you can take in the breathtaking views of the Straits of Gibraltar and Morocco. This place is part of a hotel with incredible amenities, and a swimming pool, surrounded by stunning nature. I want to express my gratitude to Designliebe, who introduced me to this place. You should follow his adventures on Instagram, as he is a master of surprises.
