Another large mosque |
In a market |
Ditto |
Spanish Morocco, French Morocco, now, just Morocco; of course, it was Roman, Carthaginian, etc., before it was Morocco; but I digress... |
Spice store; they really do spices here |
Another street scene |
Store |

From the harbor |
Marcus Africanus; Vicki had been to Egypt in 1982; I am just catching up |
Big mosque tower; alas, infidels are not permitted within the mosques |
Oilibya; don't worry, the Shell station was right across the street |
Scenic vista, Spain across the Straits |
One of the royal palaces; it's a constitutional monarchy |
Take me to the Kasba! Vicki said |
In the old city, a personal tomb |
Street scene |
Boulangerie, patisserie...pizza; it's a very international city, with Moorish, Spanish, and French ancestry (most recently) |
Most of what was on the ferry were RVs, heading for warm Morocco for the winter; maybe next time |
Goodbye Tarifa, Spain, and Europe |
The sea traffic in the Straits is impressive |
Big ships |
Container City |
Hello Africa |
And Tangier, a city of about a million |
Old and new Tangier |
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 |
It's all under this limestone mountain |
The entrance; once you're you're in and the tour begins, he locks the gate... |
Sr. Bullon, guide, owner, grandson of discoverer of the cave (in 1905) |
Horse |
Fish |
Not sure what... |
Some of the collection of artifacts, paleolithic and neolithic, in the cave |
We had a nice site
|
In the olive grove, with a view of the mountains
|
They had other rules, at the dump-site; no shit...no shit...
|
But great campground sculpture
|
All around
|
Sculpture outside the ring |
The matadors' chapel
|
At the main entrance, a minor tribute to the victim
|
In the museum, Picasso's take on it all
|
Inside the ring, alas, my camera can not capture this whole
thing, it only seats about 5,000, but is still pretty large
|
Seating comes in four categories: sun, part
shade, shade, part-sun
|
On the ring; evidently, I would guess, the veterinarians are
for the horses
