Too far south. If you head out past the island in the photo the next place you'll come to is Ibiza.

It is indeed Fred. On the Cap de la Nau which is the nearest point of mainland Spain to the Balearic Islands. From the top you can see Ibiza which is about 50 miles away. Very nice.

Yes Tuscany!...but that's a huge region...I should have put a town pic first to make it more challenging...bonus point for naming this wine town near those landscapes, to take the pics we stopped on the side of the road heading to another nearby town known for Pecorino cheese!

A couple of photos back there is a sign saying 'Boat Trip' in English so guessing it might be a cruise ship port. So... Civitavecchia (Spelling?)

I missed the correction you had posted, it was on the previous page and all I saw was this page. No worries, you were close enough to getting the right name and you'd correctly identified where the island is. I've sailed past that barren rock a couple of times and each time the seas were just a bit too much for me to anchor on the leeward side and climb up the path to the top.

An interesting side note, the red buoy began life in eastern Canada, ran away from home and hitched rides on currents before ending up here. I learned that from George Jeffrey (pictured here and also on the cover of the 2014/15 Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands).

Offhand I can only think of two islands that are that flat in the Leewards - Anegada and Barbuda. I have been to Anegada many times and haven't seen a red buoy like that one so I'm going to guess Barbuda.

We’ve been several times, and on each occasion the kids were always there, and they would make their presents known by yelling. It was hard to sit out on the balcony and drink coffee, and if you ever started throwing coins, watch out! It was fun though. This is the old dock, where the ship would pull along side the dock as if it were going straight into the island.

The only places I remember kids doing that was in Puerto Plata and in Cozumel. Very dangerous practice..

I haven't been to that beach, but the island in the picture is most likely Île Tintamarre, so this picture was taken on St. Martin, FWI

That was quick. It is St Martin, Orient Beach. I thought Carol would get this one. You're up again.

I actually had a picture series taken on Tintamarre that I wanted to use; but now I have to choose something different...

Fran--I didn't see it until Zanshin had already gotten it. Definitely St. Martin. I believe actually the picture was probably taken at the beach for Esmeralda, based on the seat cushion color, but I could be wrong.

I'll add a clue already, since I neglected to post it with the original picture above. This (closed) location supplied a raw material to the (closed) location above. What town are we in?

Carol, Can't say for sure if you are right or wrong. When we went there the sign said Orient Beach but I guess the beach has different sections too.

I think if this was in the USA, it would be covered in graffiti so I'm guessing somewhere in Germany like Dresden. It looks like some kind of coal gasification plant or maybe coal to diesel?

Carol, I checked my computer time settings, they are correct. The post clock says one time for the initial post and then on the next post it was completely different. This morning it seems to have corrected itself somehow. I know I'm not the only one seeing this but oh well, not a world shaking crisis.

No Tulum, but getting closer, still south. Hint: this used to be a sleepy little fishing village. The first time we went there the main 'street' was hard packed sand with large, ship mooring lines for speed bumps, now it's concrete.

Costa Maya is the cruise ship stop, this village is about a mile or so further down and existed before the cruise ship pier. I'll give it to JP for Costa Maya but the village is actually Mahahual. You're up JP
