I'm thinking Iberian Peninsula?

 ...... on 'vaguely' the right track .......   this is what is below the balcony ....... cropped so as not to give too much away ...... this is a university town .... which explains the rather irreverent art .... and the artist is the guy with the brush ......

No ....... so now only 50% of your guess is wrong ........ :)

 

this is a view from a distance ...... the place you need to name is top left .......

You're right the photo is confusing. Those trees and that strange house look more like Argentina. 

 

:p  yes.... but they aren't .......

 

look again at Michaels guess ...... 'not far away from Spain' is wrong

One of the other two components of his guess is also wrong .......

that leaves you with not a lot of choice given the language on the mural ......

 

this is the Casino ........ a couple of hundred metres in the other direction ......

I will not enter into the usual pedantic debate Mr Cat ........  :p

 

...... it is not labelled as Spain on my map...... and it is far away from Spain .........

 

You just have to decide whether 'Island' or 'In the Mediterranean' is correct ........ which is pretty obvious given the previous line ....... then you haven't got a lot of places to choose from ......

 

This is the Cathedral ....... which makes it officially a city ...... although not a big one ...... and 30,000 of the population are students ......

Thanks !  ;)

Your map was probably printed before year 1494. Please update. They are cheap in 2015.  :p

 

I don't know what that first photo is, perhaps a little research, but the location is San Cristobal, La Laguna on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. The stone ornament was the best clue for the location.

 

:) There.
