There are a whole lot of white villages in Andalucía
My guess with the size of the mountains in the background you are further inland than the coast

Earlier you posted a shot (as I did also) of Ronda.
got to be somewhere close to there.

OK I will try one from my phone.

Does anyone know where this statue of a young girl and a man can be found?

A couple subtle clues in the picture.

Well you have the right country
But you have the wrong city

Hint 1 -
What the girl in the statue is doing is illegal...
She is what would be called a Mudlark
Here are a couple modern day Mudlarks...
and it is still illegal

I'm thinking London. People search the mud along the Thames at low tide for whatever goodies of value that they can find. Got that little tidbit of info while visiting there.

Sorry Fran - Nope not London

One of the subtle hints were the Sea Gulls sitting on the roof of the building.
This town is on the sea.
(albeit I have no idea if there are are there are not sea gulls in London - lots of pigeons not sure on sea gulls)

Hint 2:
While admiring the statue one turns arounds and looks up.
Here is what one would sea

So many towns and cities near the coast in England - I'll just toss out Plymouth? However, I'm more curious why it would be illegal to wander off to the mud flats in low tide? What's wrong with that?

Fred,

Only one city on the coast has a tall tower that looks like that.
And it is not Plymouth

The mudlarks were beggars.
The children would shout at travelers to throw a penny their way and they would cover themselves in mud at low tide.

It was outlawed in the 1800s and then became popular again after WWII

Hint 3:

Only steps away from the statue of the Mudlarker one can find the British Navy from days gone by docked safely in the quays

I just checked the thread again and finally caught it in time. The pictures are of Portsmouth in the U.K.

Isn't that ship located in, or near Greenwich? If I recall correctly it's the Cutty Sark. Been a while since we were there.

No Fran, it's HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship, in Portsmouth. Cutty Sark is a merchant ship (Tea Clipper). Tom's earlier photo is a building called The Spinnaker, also in Portsmouth.

Mike is correct - Portsmouth is the home of the statue.
If you are interested in Naval History put this city on your list.
Lots to do and day trip over to Isle of Wight is a must.

As for the Mudlarking here is the rest of the story

Mike is up!

Thanks for the info Mike. It's been quite a while since I was in Greenwich so I wasn't sure but figured I'd give it a go.

No, not St. Lucia; but correct sea. This beach is well-known and named for the type of sand found on it.

I believe St. Vincent has "black sand beaches" and picture 2 looks like it could be some of this volcanic sand.

Not on St. Vincent. Here's another picture, taken from the same location but pointed at my beer smile The smiling bloke is a fellow sailor with a Jeanneau 49DS.

The next picture will absolutely, positively and unequivocally give it away.

On St Barths? Not me, as I really don't know it at all. Actually only been to St. Barths twice, quite a while ago. Hopefully someone else can guess the actual beach. I don't have a picture anyway.

St. Barths is a small island smile I once paid for some espresso and croissants at a cafe across from the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and wondered if I'd need to put a mortgage on my boat...

Only beach I know of on St Barts is St Jean and that's only because I watch the airport webcam there. Since that doesn't describe what the beach is made of I know it's not the one.
