Looking across the Straits to the southern Pillar of Hercules ( Ceuta) with the Riff Mountains beyond.
Other points of interest at the southerly tip of Gibraltar:
The Ibrahim al Ibrahim Mosque faces south towards Morocco.
Panning to the West a few degrees...
The tower of Our Lady of the Shrine of Europe...On this visit we also saw several boys and men wearing the yarmulke - they are mostly Separdi Jews in Gibraltar - and a guy walking along with two sulphur crested cockatoos on his shoulders.
These grow in profusion here - we'll have interesting salads!
We walked from our mooring to Europa point in less than an hour. On the way we had our first sighting of the Barbary apes - sitting sunning themselves on a balcony of the most expensive hotel in Gibraltar!

My zoom is not good but you should be able to enlarge this pic - the adults are the pair sitting to the left of the balcony; if you look carefully the baby is to the left of them again just beyond the separating wall - getting some quiet time :O)
