Harding's Battery, Europa Point, Gibraltar, United Kingdom
This it the extreme south point of Gibraltar peninsula. The gun points directly to the sea. I could reach this point by foot pretty fastly from city center but since there is some places with no pavement for walkers, taking the bus iw more convenient. I this weather seeing Morocco coast is not possible. But I could admire it easily the next day by clear weather from Tarifa (see next pictures) Foreground: Harding's Battery (built on the remains of the 7th Europa Battery in 1859) Background: - Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque (The building was a gift from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and took two years to build at a cost of around £5 million. It was officially inaugurated on 8 August 1997) - Rock of Gibraltar (426m) wanted to travel to Morocco by boat in order to experiment visually the continent change from Europa to Africa. Only on land travelling make the passenger really feel the distance and the cultural evolution all along the way. Since I had previously visited Sevilla, Malaga was for me an obvious starting point for a short Morocco trip. Then I would go to gibraltar, Tarifa and take the boat for Tanger, my first Morocco city. The trip lasted 3 weeks until I reach south of Atlas Mountain Range, just before the desert. The conclusion of my travel is that I could not recognize any Moroccan people anymore since I could realize that from north to south, and depending of the mountain side landscape, geography and people are totally different.
