Abstract
[Abstract] This contribution aims to provide a geographical reading of the southernmost point of so-called continental Europe: Punta Tarifa. Punta Tarifa is situated right on the Strait of Gibraltar, in an extreme post of Europe, in one of its meridional peripheries. But some of its daily practices reveal some of the major weaknesses of central EU policies. In this vein we wish to draw attention to certain features that somehow pull this liminal territory right to the core of a crucial political, cultural and geographical debate: the symbolic and functional bordering of the EU.
