Hi Tarifans 😉,
‍
After this crazy week, we are enjoying getting back to the normal rhythm of our lives. Semana Santa always leaves room for a before and after. Now, we are in the “after”, with the sun still there and the Poniente replacing the Levante, to the delight of kiters and water sports lovers.
‍
To be honest, that's why this newsletter was a bit late, we were on the water too.
‍
The only downside is the fire that ravaged part of the San Bartolome region last week, between the villages of Betis and El Chaparral. INFOCA teams were mobilized for more than two days to fight the flames, and some residents had to be evacuated in the middle of the night. Levante's sloping topography and strong gusts made it difficult for firefighters to bring the fire under control.
‍

And as if that were not enough, another fire broke out in Jimena de la Frontera a few days later, straining the INFOCA teams. Let's hope that the rain will finally make an appearance in the coming weeks to water the land abundantly, otherwise the summer season may be complicated.
‍
But on a more positive note, the results of Holy Week delighted the traders, with an enormous occupancy rate during these 8 days, the village was not empty! Although it can be a bit noisy for locals, there's no denying that Tarifa is sparkling!
‍
And the events continue to follow one another for the days to come, with concerts, theater and musical evenings in every corner of the city on the program... not to mention that among our neighbors in Facinas, this weekend promises to be of solidarity!
