thighslapper Posted August 26, 2015 Share #15306 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) 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 ......

Those trees and that strange house look more like Argentina. 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 ......

'not far away from Spain' is wrong Actually, "not far away from Spain" is correct... because it is Spain ! I got the city name, but won't spoil it for other forum members.

thighslapper Posted August 28, 2015 Share #15316 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I will not enter into the usual pedantic debate Mr Cat ........ ...... 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 ...... Welcome, dear visitor!

war Posted August 28, 2015 Share #15318 Posted August 28, 2015 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. The stone ornament was the best clue for the location. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted August 28, 2015 Share #15319 Posted August 28, 2015 I will not enter into the usual pedantic debate Mr Cat ........ Thanks ! Your map was probably printed before year 1494. Please update. They are cheap in 2015. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted August 28, 2015 Share #15320 Posted August 28, 2015 I agree with Cat that Tenerife is hardcore Spain. You can say it's not the mainland. If I'm not mistaken you can also state that it is not the Iberian peninsula. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
