curious story
Yes, I lived at about 100 km. from Gibraltar (one of the Colums), and we can see from Tarifa (the southernmost point of Spain) Africa clearly (Morocco is 15 km away).
Just a few days ago, a new theory about the location of the Temple of Melqart-Hercules has emerged. It's now supposed to be in San Fernando (near Jerez)...
The emblem of our region shows Hercules, and the two columns
And anyway, we the latin people sure we have a lot of common things, thanks to mare nostrum¡¡ (btw, I love the name of a Spanish airline: "Air Nostrum")
"Battles of Hercules" the area of the southern Spain close to the straits of Gibraltar was indeed visited by ancient Greeks
