A HUGE clean-up operation has been launched in the aftermath of the popular Appleby Horse Fair.

Tents, burnt-out caravans and sofas were left behind by thousands of travellers who attended the six-day event in Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria.

Ariel shots of the campsite showed muddy trails across the fields, which were lined with mounds of rubbish.

Stacks of discarded food and drinks could also be seen scattered around the area in the historic market town.

Grazing horses were pictured surrounded by toppled port-a-loos and cardboard boxes following the travelling community’s departure.

Police tape and fences surrounded one burnt-out caravan on the campsite.

It comes after a fire broke out at the 340-year-old event on Saturday afternoon.

Shocking footage on social media showed smoke billowing into the sky as fire crews tackled the blaze.

Clouds of black smoke also rose high above the fair as attendees watched on in horror.

Many were even forced to cover their faces with jumpers and coats to avoid inhaling the toxic smoke.

Stall holders then continued to dismantle their tents and tables next to the fire as it was slowly brought under control.

During this time, police officers also formed a barricade in order to protect groups of people from getting close to the fire.

It is estimated that 10,000 gypsies and travellers, as well as 30,000 other visitors, attend the fair each year.

The 340-year-old fair typically features traditional music, dancing, horse riding, market stalls and horse sales.

Horsemen and women have been seen riding their horses in the nearby River Eden as part of a long-held tradition.

Market stalls are also propped up across the tiny town – home to around just 3,200 people – selling a variety of traditional traveller goods and horse-related products.

A BEACH town in the south of Spain has been compared to Bali thanks to its beautiful beaches and laid-back vibes.

Tarifa is the most southerly town in mainland Europe, being less than nine miles from Africa.

The area is popular with kite-surfers and wind-surfers due to the windy nature[/caption]

It is often named the kite-surfing capital of Europe thanks to its strong winds making it a popular sport there.

Travel influencer Scarlett compared the vibe to being “Santa Cruz in California“.

However, it is also often called the Bali of Europe thanks to its huge sandy beaches.

Another influencer, Travel with Rafa, sad: “It feels like a tropical paradise in the middle of the Mediterranean. It feels like the Bali of Europe!”

Playa de Bologna beach is one of the popular beaches where you can also go hiking as well.

Otherwise there is also Playa de Los Lances which is where you will spot most of the kitesurfers and windsurfers.

Or the Bali-like beach is Playa de Valdevaqueros, which is home to the surfer-style Tumbao Beach Bar.

Tourists also head to Waikiki beach bar, with Bali-like thatched umbrellas, or Aloha Bar for €3 cocktails.

Near this is also the Baelo Claudia, a 2,000 year old Roman town now ruins.

If you want to explore the Old Town, it is home to beautiful tapas bars, nightclubs and local shops.

This is where the nightlife is as well, with many of the streets filled with both tourists and locals.

But while it is very Spanish in its atmosphere, it is also easy to see Moroccan influences as well with Moorish architecture.

Puera de Jerez is the ancient entrance of the walled town, and where you can also visit the 800-year-old Castle of Tarifa.

On a long walkway is also Isla de Tarifa which has some of the best views of the town as well.

It is around one hour from Gibraltar[/caption]

While there are a number of hotels and B&Bs to choose from there are also a number of campsites and caravan sites.

For example, there is Via Villagio Tarifa, which has glamping pods right on the beach or Dunas Tarifa with palm tree cabanas and safari lodges.

Tarifa is also easy to get to, being around an hour from Gibraltar by car.

Or, if in Morocco, it is around one hour by ferry from Tangier which you can fly to from the UK for £20 with Ryanair.

Here is why you should visit the city of Tangier as well, which named a top holiday spot by Vogue last year.

Not only are new luxury hotels popping up, but it has even been used to film Jason Bourne, Mission Impossible and James Bond.

In the mean time, here is another Spanish island off the coast of Africa.

And a £5.1billion underwater tunnel could connect Spain and Morocco.
