That's lighthouse on Cape Trafalgar down on Costa de la Luz, up the coast from windsurfing heaven in Los Caños de Meca.

BTW piece of advice - don't drive into that sand off the road.

Absolutely right - The Battle of Trafalgar (following the theme started by the Battle of Waterloo) happened out to sea to the West of Cape Trafalgar. I'm sure you'll agree that the open ocean would be too flat and featureless to appear on this thread.

Oh don't mention the war.
I got some grief for one pic that wasn't that descriptive, but thankfully someone came along and posted picture of grass in a stadium to make mine look positively bristling with clues.
A pic of the ocean would be there with the grass.

As for Cape Trafalgar ....
If you have been there you will remember it otherwise it is hard to place.

BTW I would bet most Brits wouldn't have a clue where Trafalgar was.

I reckon the kiwis would love you.

EDIT:
Although I should have guessed since you can't figure out if you are in Limerick or Clare.

Well done.

I thought it would last longer since Gore aint one of those places really on the tourist map, bar if you are interested in fishing or country music.

I presume it was the church that got it for you.
Although most searches bring back the Good Sheppard one in Lake Tekapo.

Gore is actually a nice well kept town in the heart of farming territory.

It is also the only place where I have come across t-shirts baring such things as "why beer is better than women", "the world's ten greatest uses of the word f**k in history" having pride of place in the window display in a man's clothes shop.

That added to the farmer wearing the "bugger me" t-shirt and a couple of women with ronnies really added to it's charm.

Yeah I figured it was a church and googled "Modern Looking Churches in New Zealand."

Right, just give me a minute here, I'm trying to decide between two places....
