Barbate lies about six miles east of Cape Trafalgar and 23 miles NW of [[Tarifa]].  It has been an important fishing port since Roman times.  During the Franco era, the town was known as Barbate de Franco in view of the dictator’s fondness for taking regular summer breaks here.  Although the town itself is not one of Andalusia’s most picturesque, there are some attractive landscapes around the town, including lushly forested cliffs, long dune-backed beaches and river marshes with important wildlife reserves.  The western end of the harbour has been converted into a 314-berth marina, which offers a convenient stop-off point for yachts sailing towards or returning from the Straits of Gibraltar.

Weather conditions at Barbate are strongly influenced by conditions in the Straits of Gibraltar, although not to the same extent as at Tarifa. Consequently winds are generally less strong here than at Tarifa.  However, from Barbate eastwards tidal currents play a significant role in determining sea state, and fresh winds against the current can whip up very unpleasant seas.

Contents

Barbate lies about six miles east of Cape Trafalgar and 23 miles NW of Tarifa. It has been an important fishing port since Roman times. During the Franco era, the town was known as Barbate de Franco in view of the dictator’s fondness for taking regular summer breaks here. Although the town itself is not one of Andalusia’s most picturesque, there are some attractive landscapes around the town, including lushly forested cliffs, long dune-backed beaches and river marshes with important wildlife reserves. The western end of the harbour has been converted into a 314-berth marina, which offers a convenient stop-off point for yachts sailing towards or returning from the Straits of Gibraltar.

Local Weather

Weather conditions at Barbate are strongly influenced by conditions in the Straits of Gibraltar, although not to the same extent as at Tarifa. Consequently winds are generally less strong here than at Tarifa. However, from Barbate eastwards tidal currents play a significant role in determining sea state, and fresh winds against the current can whip up very unpleasant seas.
