Nice catch! As by your "spider" spotting from France I was pretty sure it is not intentionally plantated, but aligns to natural geomorphology with lucky coincidental growths, and... was I right?! Checking GE layers it turns out that this is a known structure called as Geoglifo Barbate or Faraón de Barbate, and is still debated that it is a bronze-age structure or it has nothing to do with historical human activity... Description on wikimapia: and the comment by Senor Díaz-Montexano:source: wikimapia.org (GTranslation) In GEC layer one can find the same info (By: GEOCADIZ Date: 2007-02-04) Now whether it is a Pharaoh or just a natural growth, it also looks like a great Moai head made up of trees so here we go with a new placemark: " Willi's Moai" ( ; -- Updated kmz file attached to OP.

Again I think this is a natural hollow, unsuitable for agricultural cultivation, covered with naturally settled plants. The shadows by low sun angle make the seahorse shape the most apparent on your screenie. Still it will worth a "Willi's seahorse" placemark in the collection after the next file update! ( ; ... Oh, and the previous "M" for Marinagri Hotel & Spa ... ( ; Many thanks for your great additions! -- Updated kmz file attached to OP.
