ORIGINAL: crsutton Canton2, did you shoot this from Algeciras? One of my favorite places. I was there in the late 70s and early 80s Nope from my bedroom window. I live in Gibraltar. Fire was in Gib not Algeciras. Border was probably closed because of Franco's foreign policy when you visited Algeciras at that time. Yep, could not cross the border. Franco was gone but the policy stuck around for quite a while. Interesting place then, very small town and very conservative. Girls did not wear bikinis on the beach and all went home at ten pm. Franco's ghost, I suppose. Five years later, I went back and they were selling porn in street kiosks......I looked the place over in google earth a few weeks ago and don't think I would recognize it now. The town square is quite beautiful. Ornate tile work.
