This contribution focuses on the borderscape of a flat area situated at the southernmost tip of G ibraltar, at the edge of the E uropean C ontinent, which is illustratively and interestingly named E uropa P oint . We will argue that, as an evoking geographical belvedere of cultural and continental interrelationships, E uropa P oint directs attention to the inherent sociospatial ambiguities of EU rope. Embodying a crucial topo within the E uropean sociospatial b/ordering process, this borderscape stimulates to observe E urope's limits through a non‐binary lens. The text aims at providing an unfrozen alternative visualisation of the symbolic and territorial margins of the EU . Echoing D e R ougemont's conceptualisation of E urope's existence through its search for the infinite, it depicts E uropa P oint as a springboard and platform to the perpetual commencement of the E uropean adventure.
