Into Spain again … and the end of our route.

Some end-of-season beach pictures and the end of our route

Kite surfing in the evening sun at Sanlúcar de Barrameda

The town beach at Cádiz at low tide

The wind/kite surfing beach at Tarifa: very end-of-season

Tarifa is where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean so marks the most southerly point on the European Atlantic coast. We couldn’t access the exact point where this happens on the Isla de las Palomas (which is connected to the mainland by a causeway) because this houses some kind of military/prison installation.

(In Shetland back in early May we also couldn’t access the most northerly point but that was because of the rocky nature of the shoreline and the strength of the wind and the waves. But we could photograph it.)

Instead here is a photo of the two of us on the causeway with the last of the Atlantic behind us, and a sign saying so.

On the other side of the causeway is the Mediterranean and its own sign, with a view of the hills of north Africa in the background. But those are other stories and perhaps other journeys. Now we start our long drive north and east across inland Spain and France to get back home.
