Mary at Tarifa (southernmost point of mainland Europe)
Tarifa harbour, looking across the Straits of Gibraltar to Jebel Musa in Morocco (the mountain in the distance; it is one of the two "pillars of Hercules" guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean, the other one being Gibraltar)
A watchtower at Tarifa (from which merchants would look out for ships laden with treasure arriving from the New World)
This 10km beach west of Tarifa is called Playa de los Lances – we never knew we had a beach named after us!
The modern version of Don Quixote: forests of windmills on the windy hills behind Tarifa

Barbary ape with baby
St Michael's cave, Gibraltar, a natural cavern big enough to contain a concert hall
