What's it? - Name of ship, who owned it, where is it?

[Steve Clayton]

Ceuta?

Good guess but it's not right.

Here's a clue picture from the same era:

Ferrol

I'm pretty sure Franco would have loved to have anchored in Gib.

Ferrol

No; it's not the northern coast of Spain

Here's a clue picture from the same era:

Is that Javea before the harbour was filled with pontoons?

Is that Javea before the harbour was filled with pontoons?

Well done; yes it's Javea/Xabia port. In the earlier photos the volcano like "hill" is Cumbre Del Sol (just north of Moraira)

Here's the famous L'Arenal Beach with San Antonio point on the skyline. - it doesn't look like that now!

If I had posted this pic then it would have been easier; again it's L'Arenal beach with the mountain "Montgo"; and you can see Javea old town. Looks as if this picture was taken from what was the recent restaurant "Scallops"

..and there are a couple of forumites who should recognise the skyline.

So that must be the 'elephants head' in the hill ?

A second vote for it being Franco's old yacht.

Yes Nick; as a reminder here are a few pics of the mighty Montgo

Ssssshhhhhhhh! Don't wake the elephant!

He's lookin' at you!

Montgo from what we call the sail roundabout at the junction of the Benitachell/Jesus Pobre roads
