Title: Strait of Gibraltar
Description:
Gateway to the Atlantic, since ancient times the Strait of Gibraltar
(36.5N,  4.5W) is also the border between Africa and Europe.  In Spain to
the north,  the dark area near the coast is the delta of the Guadalquivir
River and the  city of Seville.  The small spike of land on the north side
of the strait is  the actual Rock of Gibraltar.  On the African side, a
cloud front cutting  across from the coast is blowing into Europe from
Morocco and Algeria.
