I have just come back from Cyprus and had a great time. I wanted to share a few interesting photos of things that caught my eye while walking around in various places, especially of the rich colours and patterns on buildings and in textiles. Cyprus has a rich history of different cultures all putting their stamp on the island, and of course at present it is still divided in a Greek and a Turkish part. The Greek side is more modern and developed with many large hotels and plenty of activity along the many beaches, while the Turkish side is quieter with less of that going on and more strips of beach all to yourself, though there are lots of villas being built for foreigners wanting their own place in the sun. At times it can be hard to look through all the ugly building developments, noisy bars as well as rubbish left on beaches, which unfortunately you see, but if you venture away from the beaten track you’ll soon come across the real beauty and authenticity that Cyprus has to offer – both in the South and the North. A great island all around.

Tarifa, Cádiz – un paraíso turístico. Tenemos de todo: maravillosas y playas que pueden competir con las mejores orillas de España, viento que en combinación con las playas son la perfecta base para practicar el kitesurf o el windsurf, parques narturales en los alrededores que dan la posibilidad de montar la bici de montaña y explorar las numerosas rutas que llevan por un bonito paisaje.
Para encontrar alojamiento los turistas buscan alquiler Tarifa de todo tipo. Lo más económico se encuentra en el casco antiguo de la ciudad. Aquí puede haber estudios por un precio muy moderado. Aparte de tener cerca los muchos restaurantes y bares, las playas tampoco están lejo. A la Playa principal – la Playa de Los Lances se llega en unos 5 a 10 minutos caminando. Se sale del centro histórico y pasa por el puerto de Tarifa Cádiz, siempre acompañado por el impresionante panorama del Estrecho y de las montañas de Marruecos.
Una vez allí se puede tomar una bebida en uno de los chiringuitos que están repartidos a lo largo del paseo marítimo.
En el otro lado del paseo encontramos lo más deseado del alquiler Tarifa. Aquí están situados las urbanizaciones con los mejores apartamentos de la zona. Vistas al mar, terrazas y piscinas esperan a los visitantes que han decidido alojarse en la zona de playa de Tarifa Cádiz. También vale la pena mirar los sitios en segunda y tercera linea. Aunque se está un poco más alejado del mar, puede que se encuentra aquí más tranquilidad – sobre todo en verano – y como están un poco más altos, porque el terreno sube, las vistas son igual de buenas.
Desde esta zona de playa se llega en pocos minutos a las afueras de Tarifa, Cádiz. Después del campo de futbol en el final del pueblo comienza la zona protegida del Parque Natural del Estrecho. Hasta el Camping Rio Jara se puede apreciar la bella naturaleza. Hay puntos ideales para la observación de aves. Tarifa Cádiz es un destino muy deseados para los aficionados de especies de aves que pasan por aquí en su viaje desde el sur al norte o alrevés. En esta zona existen pocas posibilidades de alquiler Tarifa, pero hay algunas casas de campo que son la opción preferida para este tipo de turismo. Cerca de los puntos de observación y en su mayoría bastante económicos estas casas ofrecen todo lo que buscan los aficionados.
Después de los campings hay un largo aparcamiento. Esta región es muy querida por los navegantes con sus cometas de kite y sus velas de windsurf. En verano se pone unos avisos en la playa para separar los deportistas de estos dos tipos. Mezclándolos puede resultar algo peligros ya que las cuerdas de los kites tienen más de 20 metros. Fuera de temporada no hay problemas. La cantidad de surferos es mucho más baja y cada uno encuentra su espacio.
