The best tortilla in Tarifa, and you'll find it on a sailboat
If you're visiting Tarifa and wondering where to eat the best tortilla de patatas in town, the answer might surprise you: on board the YEMAYA, sailing across the Strait of Gibraltar.
At Tarifa Sailing Experiences, our home-made Spanish omelette has become one of the most talked-about highlights of every trip. It's made fresh on board, with caramelised onion and that irresistibly runny centre, jugosa, as we say in Spain.
Why tortilla matters so much
The tortilla española is serious business here. The great debate (with onion or without? runny or set?) divides households and bar counters alike. We've made our choice: always with onion, always slightly runny, and always made with love.
It surprises us that such a simple and delicious dish hasn't conquered the world the way pizza or a burger has. You'd struggle to find a decent one outside Spain, and honestly, you'd struggle to find a great one in most Tarifa bars, too.
Tortilla "Boatmade" on the YEMAYA
That's exactly why we started making our own on board. There's something special about eating a warm slice of tortilla with a cold beer, watching Africa float on the horizon, the sails full of Atlantic wind above you. Our guests' reviews say it all: the flavour, the freshness, the moment.
