There is a lot going on in this photo (which combine several interests of mine). In the foreground (right) is a Moroccan Trig point. The fort is the Spanish enclave of Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, whereas the isthmus or beach area is the shortest international land border (Morocco/Spain) in the world at 81m.
