I am trying to locate a area that I stayed at 22yrs ago only know that it was high up in the hills /mountains looking down to the sea directly in front to the left in the distance you could see the snow capped tops os Sierra Navada and directly behind us was a huge MOD type of golf ball iv tried all sorts of searches to try and locate this but with no joy just wondered if anybody may know where this is many thanks fran

Whats MOD???? Theres a place near us called Lauro golf, Alhaurin, Nr. Málaga which kinda fits your description, altho the view to the sea is a bit built up now??!!

Have you had a look on Google Earth???

If you were on the East side of Gibraltar then the satellite dish enclosed in a Golf Ball like structure on Windy Hill ( Europa Flats ) Gibraltar would be behind you and on a clear day the snowcapped mountains of the Siera Nevada would be visible to your left.
However to see both at the same time limits your position to a very small ( minute ) area, were you in the Military ?

This Golf Ball has now been demolished, but as a point of interest this is also one of the areas that :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SES_Astra use to control their satellites from. The satellites that broadcast Sky TV

There is also another Golf Ball on the top of the North end of Gibraltar, but I cannot imagine where you would have been to to see this one.
