Well done - you should have requested a clue.

La Paz was my very last attempt

Of course it was - you were hardly going to keep searching after finding it!

Jambo

Apollogies for the delay folks in posting the next guess where !

Only clue is this place is well known,

I think it's time for a clue or else I'm going to go bananas. I've been searching the world for the past 3 days!

Hmm, steep inclines, small runway, but runway nonetheless.
Doesn't look very populated.
Spanish?

Yes, the runway is at the extreme edge indicating a difficulty finding a siutable flat area.

I presume it's part of an island group otherwise there would be no need for the runway on the land mass on the left as it is connected by bridge to the other land mass.

Possible (US?) military/marine base or refueling stop or possible sub-marine base.

There also seems to be a lot of shipping but non-merchant/commercial as there does not appear to be bulk cargo/freight/containers etc.Not much evidence of fishing either.

No evidence of agriculture. I'd say the road on the island on the left is only utilised to reach a possible communications mast/antennae possible located on top of the mountain.

Not much evidence of trees either.

Greenery indicates that it is not a hot climate but possibly tropical.

SeaSide

you can also work out the heading of the runway and its length (15/33 and about 3500ft)

the long isthmus??? suggests currents which suggests the sea and not inland.

the number of boats would suggest its reasonably busy but i see no indication of marinas or yachts so military or remote or both

Jambo

Sorry folks , been unable to get to a pc latley , A TV program/station has made this place well known outside of their own borders

Seaside " the long isthmus??? suggests currents which suggests the sea and not inland " your right there

Wishbone Ash "There also seems to be a lot of shipping but non-merchant/commercial as there does not appear to be bulk cargo/freight/containers etc.Not much evidence of fishing either." You are very wrong on one of your toughts there.
Oriel - Not Spanish

Wishbone Ash

Gotcha! - Dutch Harbor, Alaska :D:D

Just to put Jambo's location in perspective!

Wishbone Ash

My turn.

Here's a nice little island.

Population - 269
Language - English
Currency - British Pound Sterling
Anthem - God Save the Queen

I've never heard of it but it holds one of those extremity records!

Happy hunting!

Wishbone Ash

And I've managed to find a little pic of it's capital online.

Easter Island is the [/SIZE]remotest inhabited island!

Wishbone Ash

I was hoping someone else would make a guess over the past few days but the lack of responses is probably because it is too vague. It's better to include a landmark of some sort.

SeaSide

ah come on... just because I put a twist on it. There's a handful of places this could be.

SeaSide

Thats gas

GE was updated between me taking my screenshot and now
