Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic we find Gibraltar, a very striking place for different reasons. For three centuries it has belonged to the United Kingdom, which has expanded its area of control. But Spain has tried to recover the territory in different ways.
According to the UN, it is the only colony that exists in Europe. In addition, since Brexit occurred, it is a new frontier of the European Union.
It has one of the strangest airports in the world, with an avenue where cars cross at the same level as planes. In addition, a few meters away is the stadium where the national soccer team acts as a local.
On the other hand, it was the protagonist of one of the most unusual ideas of the 20th century: building a huge dam that separates the Atlantic from the Mediterranean. In this way, Africa and Europe would unite and the level of the Mediterranean would drop between 100 and 200 meters, thus generating new lands to settle. Fortunately, it was not implemented, as the contraindications far outweighed the benefits.
