El Estrecho (The Strait) is an area bordering the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, a place known as the Campo de Gibraltar. The emergence of this vital site between Africa and Europe led to the tragic fact of continental separation, happened perhaps more than a million years ago. There, existed a mountain range that extended from Africa to the modern Portugal, the Mediterranean Sea was a former Valley more than a thousand meters deep. A huge earthquake opened the doors of the Ocean, thus giving rise to the Mediterranean Sea and, in turn, also to the strait.

Its altarpiece, dating from the seventeenth century, became a sanctuary from the year 2005. It is an ideal place to tour by car with a good company.
