直布羅陀海峽是連接地中海和大西洋的咽喉要道，自古以來一直是兵家必爭之地。公園711年，信奉伊斯蘭教的北非摩爾人渡過直布羅陀海峽，大舉進犯歐洲，擊敗當時位于西班牙的西哥特王國后繼續向法國進軍。被當時法蘭克共相“鐵錘查理”擊敗后，摩爾人在西班牙地區盤踞了七個多世紀，將伊斯蘭文化傳播至歐洲。摩爾人軍隊渡過直布羅陀海峽后，一位名叫Tarif Ben Malluk的將軍攻占了海峽北邊的一座小鎮并在此修建城堡，這座小鎮因而得名Tarifa。Tarifa距離海峽僅21英里，地勢險要，易守難攻，摩爾人以此為據點控制了直布羅陀海峽，并向經過直布羅陀海峽的來往商船索要買路費，其金額與商船上所在貨物價值總額成比例，這就是關稅的由來，而表示關稅的英語單詞tariff就來自城市Tarifa的名字。
