Save the Cordoba Mosque: The Catholic church in Spain has been exploiting to it's financial advantage the World Heritage Site of the Cordoba Mosque (Mezquita) for decades. They now even pretend to turn this public site into church estate. They actually have already banned the term Mezquita (Mosque) to impose religious monopoly, while the Mezquita is actually one of the few great universal paradigms of harmony between cultures (main reason why it was declared World Heritage in the first place). Public pressure is needed towards the government of Andalusia to keep this monument as public property instead of loosing it to private, christian dominion.

Kitesurfing und Windsurfing in Tarifa
Tarifa is the most southerly point of the peninsula, facing the African coast and bathed by the waters of the Straits of Gibraltar. It marks the east-end of the Costa de la Luz.
This geographic location is the reason that nearly always there is a moderate to strong wind blowing. In comination with the wam climate it makes Tarifa the ideal place for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Environment of TarifaTarifa has a surprisingly diverse and rich environment, partly explained by the Mediterranean and Atlantic coming together at this point. On one side there is the country park of Los Alconocales - a forest and wildlife reserve of the highest regard and on the other, there is a coastline of some 25 miles, noted for its beautiful and unspoilt beaches.
There are some striking dunes at Valdevaqueros and Playa de Bolonia (Note the monument of Duna de Bolonia), best seen against the beautiful and undisturbed background of the Sierra de la Plata.
While the countryside has fauna and flora typical of this kind of coastline its great attraction is the annual migration of tens of thousands of birds from Europe to Africa, and vice versa, through the Straits of Gibraltar. The authorities have built a special observation point which attracts professional and amateur birdwatchers from all over the world.
