To Tarifa

Thursday we drove from Ronda to Tarifa, on the south coast of Spain, west of Gibraltar. The highway was excellent and very scenic, incredibly rough mountainous limestone country, not very high, but scenic nonetheless. And more white towns.

Scenery en route from Ronda to Tarifa







Look kids, another white town!








And a tower








And another








First view of the Mediterranean; then on past boring
Algeciras to Tarifa








Entrance to old town, Tarifa











Nice statue in the harbor area, where we
stayed for the night, on a street under an old
tower and heading to the beach; from Tarifa,
Africa is ten miles away, across the Straits;
that's the Atlas mountains in the right
background
