'Bali of Europe' is just hours away from UK with €3 cocktails and golden beaches

Anyone fancy a holiday?

While the weather in the UK has been surprisingly warm in recent months, it's the sort of time when people are starting to get ready for their summer holidays.

There are plenty of popular choices across Europe, so long as you make sure to avoid any on the Foreign Office's do not travel list - and there are plenty of places to choose from, like the 'most underrated' destination in Europe, or maybe something a little closer to home.

But Spain has long been a favourite of Brits, who want to get boozy for bargain prices.

And while some places in Spain aren't so keen on having British tourists visit at all, there's another spot down south which has been dubbed the 'Bali of Europe' - and you can get there for the price of two pints in London.

Tarifa is the southernmost town in Europe and is situated just nine miles from the northernmost point of Morocco, meaning a quick flight to the African country and a short ferry crossing will land you there in next to no time.

With Ryanair currently offering flights to Tangier for £20, it shouldn't be a struggle to reach, while it's also just one hour away from Gibraltar by car.

Tarifa has plenty to offer for those of you who love spending time at the beach.

There's not just sunbathing on offer, however, as it's also described as the kitesurfing capital of Europe due to the high winds there, which will be great so long as you don't mind getting sand everywhere (via The Sun).

Travel influencer and photographer Scarlett compared the vibe to being similar to 'Santa Cruz in California'.

Meanwhile, another influencer, Travel with Rafa, said: "It feels like a tropical paradise in the middle of the Mediterranean. It feels like the Bali of Europe!"

Suppose you don't fancy spending your time crashing into the sea during your kitesurfing lessons. In that case, you can relax on the beach, with a local Aloha bar offering cocktails for just €3 for their Happy Hour, which runs until 11pm, according to Graykite.

Which is equally brilliant and dangerous, especially if you're planning on trying kitesurfing for the first time after a few tipples.

Baelo Claudia, the ruins of a 2,000-year-old Roman town, also offers history buffs the chance to enjoy themselves, while the town's central area is home to nightclubs, shops and tapas bars.

And if you're able to get the hang of a new Apple feature that promises real-time foreign language translations, you'll fit right in as well.
