EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and rich history of Algeciras, Spain, in the 1910s. The image showcases the Hotel Anglo Hispano, a grand and imposing building situated on the banks of the River Miel. The hotel, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and ornate facade, was a popular destination for travelers during this era, offering luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views of the bay and the Strait of Gibraltar. The River Miel, also known as the Honey River, meanders through the foreground of the photograph, adding a serene and picturesque element to the scene. The name "Miel" translates to "honey" in English, a fitting moniker given the golden hue of the river as it reflects the sunlight. In the background, the silhouette of Gibraltar can be seen, a testament to the close proximity of the two territories. The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, has long been a point of contention between Spain and the United Kingdom. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, with horse-drawn carriages and people dressed in fashionable attire of the time, adding to the sense of nostalgia and history. The natural beauty of Algeciras and its rich cultural heritage continue to attract visitors from around the world, making it a must-see destination for those seeking to explore the wonders of Andalusia and the Costa del Sol.
