Image of Tarifa, not of the place itself.

In the waters off Tarifa, the almadraba has been practiced since Roman times, a technique of maze-like nets used to catch bluefin tuna during their migration through the Strait; in 1294 Sancho IV granted Guzmán el Bueno the exclusive privilege of the almadraba from the Guadiana to the coast of Granada.
