Yesterday, we stopped off in Tarifa to stare across the Strait of Gibraltar at the other continent. It was a bit hazy, but you can still make out Morocco.
Maria took a pic of me taking a pic. My own didn’t turn out so well…

So close. Taking the ferry from there to Tangiers is on my bucket list!

Not that much… a few street signs in Arabic.

Cool! From where I sit right now, I can see an old woman getting out of a taxi. And my breakfast. Probably not very photo-worthy.

It’s a great view of Morocco from Tariffa, isn’t it? Hope you have a great time in Gibraltar tomorrow 🙂 Will you be walking or driving across the runway? 😉

We’re not sure what the best approach it. Any suggestions? Take the car into Gibraltar or leave it outside?

I’ve heard mixed reports – sometimes there are long queues either in or back out again – and sometimes not. I quite enjoyed walking over the border last time I went. It’s easily walkable whatever you decide 🙂
Have fun!

This reminds me of when Sarah Palin claimed International Relations experience because she “could see Russia from her backyard”. God I miss the insanity that woman brought to the news. 🙂

She sure was entertaining… and when she wasn’t saying anything stupid, her family “events” would fill the gaps. Oh, how I miss those days 😉

Ceuta is pretty interesting too, a bit of a mix of the influence of the African continent and Spanish. Friendly people too.

There is a fast ferry across from Algeciras if you have a day to spare! Or at least there was in 2002 http://smallbluegreenwords.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/eviva-espana/
