You're standing on Punta de Tarifa, the southernmost tip of mainland Europe. You can't go any further south on this continent. You're on the Atlantic side of the Strait of Gibraltar. Look across the water: that coastline on the other side is Morocco. That's why this spot is sometimes called Punta Marroquí, Moroccan Point.
