Southernmost town on the Iberian peninsula — 14km from Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar, with steady Levante (east) and Poniente (west) winds that put it on the world kitesurf calendar. Population balloons May–September from ~18k to 100k+; rent scales accordingly. Off-season (Oct–Apr) is calmer and cheaper for a long-stay base, but cold and grey for the worst months. The medieval old town is small but walkable; the wide Valdevaqueros and Los Lances beaches are 10 minutes by car. Spain's DNV applies — same €2,650/mo income threshold as Madrid or Barcelona. Tangier and Chefchaouen are an hour by FRS ferry.
