The Island in Tarifa is known as Isla De Las Palomas, one version is that there were many pigeons on the island and another due to the white foam of the waves.

The connecting road divides the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Attention: In strong winds it can blow off your feet here! In addition, the spray from the waves can be quite wet. So leave your camera and cell phone in your pocket in strong winds.

The access road forms the border between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and is therefore something special, but the island itself is a restricted area and is not accessible. Pity...
