Photographer's Note

The beach of Cape Trafalgar, is located in the municipality of Barbate, Cadiz province in Spain.
The name "Cape Trafalgar" has its origin in Arabic taraf al-gharb, meaning Cape of the West, and is mostly known for the naval battle that took place there between Franco-Spanish forces and the British Navy in October 21, 1805, won by the British.
This victory gave origin to the name of one of the squares more London tourist "Trafalgar Square" and where we celebrate annually this British victory.
