Have you read The Alchemist?
“From there, he could see Africa in the distance. Someone had once told him that it was from there that the Moors had come, to occupy all of Spain.”
Yeah! good short read... at the end he found the treasure! haha
Its very close... fast ferry is like 30 mins, some people swim across the strait as an ironman. Also, because of venturi effect its pretty windy as well... many kitesurfers and windsurfers around. You can find pakistani (Jorge cervantes calls it "culero" for a reason) around as well.
