The Spanish city of La Linea de la Concepcion, and the top of the Rock, a monolithic
The Spanish city of La Linea de la Concepcion (rear), and the top of the Rock, a monolithic limestone promontory, are seen next to the construction (R) of Cape Vantage, in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, south of Spain August 16, 2013. The Gibraltar government is projected to build the tourist complex which will contain one hotel, 2500 apartments and 500 docks along the coast off Spanish territorial waters of the Mediterranean Sea, according to El Pais newspaper. British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday asked European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to " urgently" send monitors to Gibraltars border with Spain where tightened security checks are fuelling a row between the two countries.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Spanish city of La Linea de la Concepcion, nestled beside the majestic monolithic limestone promontory known as the Rock of Gibraltar. The image also captures the ongoing construction of Cape Vantage, a tourist complex envisioned by the Gibraltar government. According to reports, this ambitious project will encompass a luxurious hotel, 2500 apartments, and 500 docks along the Mediterranean coast within Spanish territorial waters. The photograph was taken on August 16,2013, and offers a glimpse into the political tensions surrounding Gibraltar at that time. British Prime Minister David Cameron had recently requested urgent intervention from European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso due to heightened security checks at Gibraltar's border with Spain. This issue had sparked a heated dispute between these two countries. Amidst this backdrop of controversy and geopolitical complexities lies an awe-inspiring vista that seamlessly blends natural beauty with human ingenuity. The juxtaposition of La Linea de la Concepcion's urban landscape against the rugged grandeur of the Rock serves as a reminder of both historical significance and modern aspirations. Through Jon Nazca's lens, we are transported to this unique corner where cultures collide and nature reigns supreme. This print encapsulates not only architectural marvels but also echoes whispers of political discord - making it an intriguing piece for those fascinated by both history and current affairs alike.
