直布羅陀海峽是連接地中海和大西洋的咽喉要道,自古以來(lái)一直是兵家必爭(zhēng)之地。公園711年,信奉伊斯蘭教的北非摩爾人渡過(guò)直布羅陀海峽,大舉進(jìn)犯歐洲,擊敗當(dāng)時(shí)位于西班牙的西哥特王國(guó)后繼續(xù)向法國(guó)進(jìn)軍。被當(dāng)時(shí)法蘭克共相“鐵錘查理”擊敗后,摩爾人在西班牙地區(qū)盤踞了七個(gè)多世紀(jì),將伊斯蘭文化傳播至歐洲。摩爾人軍隊(duì)渡過(guò)直布羅陀海峽后,一位名叫Tarif Ben Malluk的將軍攻占了海峽北邊的一座小鎮(zhèn)并在此修建城堡,這座小鎮(zhèn)因而得名Tarifa。Tarifa距離海峽僅21英里,地勢(shì)險(xiǎn)要,易守難攻,摩爾人以此為據(jù)點(diǎn)控制了直布羅陀海峽,并向經(jīng)過(guò)直布羅陀海峽的來(lái)往商船索要買路費(fèi),其金額與商船上所在貨物價(jià)值總額成比例,這就是關(guān)稅的由來(lái),而表示關(guān)稅的英語(yǔ)單詞tariff就來(lái)自城市Tarifa的名字。
