BAELO CLAUDIA -Roman ruins in Bolonia (Cadiz) Spain

In the southern Spain there is a quite wonderful place named Bolonia beach, in the town of Tarifa. Beside such an spectacular location, you can find "BAELO CLAUDIA", an ancient Roman town. Although it was a city very prosperous at the time of Emperor Claudius, it went into a decline hastened by earthquakes, and it was abandonaded around the 6th century. Here you can see what is still there.... fly to that age and to that place.... and let your soul be your pilot, as STING said in the song on it....

DOLPHINES & SUNSET in Tarifa (Cadiz) Spain

This video is dedicated to 3 Ms. If you want to watch the dolphines in the south of Spain, I recommend you to go to Tarifa (the most meridional point in Europe) where the Mediterranean sea meet the Atlantic Ocean in one point. There are some excursions by Turmares company (www.turmares.es) also available in english :) I hope you will enjoy this!
