What is Flaks?
Flaks is the Norwegian word for ‘luck’. Flaks is founded on the belief that entrepreneurs are increasingly location independent and that the Internet is also present in the most beautiful places of the world. We organize adventure holidays for flexible entrepreneurs. Have an unforgettable experience together in an inspiring setting and outdoor scene while you can co-work under a palm tree. That’s Flaks!
You bring your laptop, we'll take care of the rest!
Flaks-working in Tarifa
Tarifa is an authentic fortress town with a strong Andalusian culture AND international vibe. It is lively and laidback. The Mediterranean ‘diet’ is common daily practice. Every week there is a national, regional or local fiesta and if there’s nothing to celebrate they will invent something to celebrate. Tarifa is located in the most southern tip of continental Spain, along the Strait of Gibraltar in just half an hour by boat from Africa. Due to this prime location Tarifa has more than 300 days viento (wind) per year. With the 15 km stretched white sand beaches , this is THE place in Europe for wind or kite surfing. Tarifa is therefore known as
The Wind Capital of Europe
The town is located in a beautiful nature park which is one big outdoor playground. Besides watersports (kitesurf, windsurf, surf, SUP) Tarifa is a fantastic place for other outdoor sports such as mountain biking, trail running, rock climbing and scuba diving. October is the perfect month for a Flaks Working Holiday in Tarifa. Wind conditions are good, and both water and air temperatures are very pleasant. The town has a relaxed after-summer vibe! The Flakscoworking holiday welcomes every adventurer and sporty person: from kitesurf newby to diehard windsurf pro.
