Make the journey part of your trip

Travelling from Lagos to Tarifa crosses the entire Algarve and a large part of western Andalusia.

With a private vehicle, the journey can become part of your holiday by adding one or more carefully selected sightseeing stops.

For this route, we recommend Cacela Velha, Seville and Cádiz.

Each destination offers a very different experience and can be visited individually or combined according to your available time.

Which stops can be combined?

Because the direct journey already takes around five hours, we recommend choosing sightseeing stops according to the amount of time available.

  • Cacela Velha only for a short scenic stop before leaving Portugal.
  • Seville only for the strongest major city experience.
  • Cádiz only for an Atlantic city and coastal experience before reaching Tarifa.
  • Cacela Velha and Seville for a short Portuguese stop followed by a major Andalusian city.
  • Seville and Cádiz for a strong combination of Andalusian culture and Atlantic scenery.
  • Cacela Velha and Cádiz for two contrasting coastal experiences in Portugal and Spain.
  • Cacela Velha, Seville and Cádiz can all be combined, but the journey should then be treated as a full-day private road trip with an early departure.

If you simply want the fastest and most comfortable journey to Tarifa, the direct private transfer remains available without sightseeing stops.

Have somewhere else in mind?

Your journey is private.
