The house is located in a village called Betis, close to Tarifa in the southeast of Spain. It is at the southern extreme of Europe facing Africa, where the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean meet.
Betis is a unique, traditional, and natural place where you can find peace and feel close to nature. You can discover small untouched beaches with white sand and a blue ocean. The trails will take you to the beaches of the coast or breathtaking viewpoints in the mountains.

Jerez Airport
78 km
Transfer available for additional US$68 per person
Málaga Airport
126 km
Transfer available for additional US$85 per person
Gibraltar International Airport
33 km
Transfer available for additional US$57 per person
If you come driving and you don't have GPS or Google Maps, then go direction Tarifa.
Please book your flight to arrive at Gibraltar International Airport (GIB).
Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is the nearest airport (cheap flights from England). The second nearest airport is Jerez Airport (XRY) approximately to one and a half hours away (you can find good prices sometimes). The biggest airport is Málaga Airport (AGP), 2-hour driving, and there are many flights from every country (the cheapest).
You can also fly to Seville Airport (SVQ), but Aventuras del Sur does not offer transfer from there, 3-hour drive. Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport (TNG) is also very close if you go first to visit Marrocco, then you only have to cross the sea by boat to Tarifa which takes only 25 minutes (Tanger-Tarifa boat: FRS).
From Gibraltar International Airport (GIB), you can get the bus: La Linea-Tarifa and Jerez-Tarifa too. Sevilla-Tarifa: 3 hours.
If you don't want to rent a car at the airport, then ask for the transfer service (round trip: 100 EUR Gibraltar, 120 EUR Jerez, 150 EUR Málaga).
The best recommendation is come by car from the airport, the beaches are not far, but we are on the hill, so is hard to return walking from the beach, and also is difficult to find the ways through the forest, (if you don´t know the Park).
There are some direct buses: Málaga Airport (AGP)-Algeciras-Tarifa.
Note: Aventuras del Sur will be happy to help a group or individual guest to contact with each other to rent a car together or share the transfer costs in case you want. Ask Aventuras del Sur.
