Wasn't easy as many estuaries look the same, the clue was the Priory, so thanks.

We were very lucky to live there for a few years. There was always something to watch from the window. The big ship in the picture was the daily ferry from Amsterdam.
We were there in 2005 when the tall ships came past. It was quite a sight but the weather was very bad and a lot of them had to turn back and seek shelter up the coast.
A container ship ran aground there in March.
The building in the front of the picture is the ship's pilot office.

Where will you find this tiled pavement with the peculiar optical illusion?

Yes - don't I make them easy?  The Espanade de Espana in Alicante, another port of call on our recent trip.
