and the warmth and party going style of southern Spanish people, during
the typical and traditional Semana Santa festivities.

History: Once upon a time, in 1982, a group of German investors
promoted a windsurfing competition during the Eastern Time in a hotel on
Tarifa called: Dos Mares of Tarifa. They called this regatta Toro Andaluz.
The regatta did not had so much eco in the media, only one magazine
published something about it the German Wind Surfing.

The following year the German invertors did not continue with their
investment so they decided to leave the investment in the Toro. But a
group of amateur members of the Cadiz Windsurfing Club, decided to
continue with the project. In a few days they had financial support of
Cadiz´s Diputación Provincial. This support gave them money for
a minimum
infrastructure and so the regatta Toro Andaluz was held.

Thats how the story of the ancient world windsurfing regatta begins.
During its 21 edition it has become one of the most important social
events of Tarifa, and also one of the principal promoters of Spains funboard.

Since 1997, thanks to the help of Mundo Vela Consorio and Cadiz´s
Diputacion the regatta began a new growing phase that arrived into the
22nd edition of the classic Toro Andaluz. Since this edition the classic
regatta was included in the IWA´s Eurocup. Nowadays the regatta is on
its
way to its 25th anniversary.

the most lovely and windy beaches of Spain: Playa de Valdevaquero.
