Most of us here has heard of ancient tales of Taharka making land fall in Spain,and even earlier of a king with a later latenized name of Batrikus from Africa who invaded Hispania in 1070 B.C
Xyyman dug up genetic data that seems to supports this.
[50% Sub-saharan DNA in Iberia 1000BC?
In the ancient sample of the Iberian Peninsula highlights the presence of 50% of sub-Saharan lines.

About this King Batrikus we first heard of him from Arabic and Christian sources but I couldn't track down any sources other than 2nd hand but I first came across this info from Dr Ivan Van Sertima.
From what little I gathered, he, Taharaka after his adventures in the Levant traveled West reaching Spain,nothing is known of what he did there, nothing as far as I'm aware of in Egyptian records , even bragging rights, but cartouches with the names of representatives of the Libyan dyn, has been found, so it make sense if went there to bring them to heel.
Now the possible place of Taharka's landing if he did any such thing in Hispania, the port city of Tarroco which bares the same name and spelling as how the Christian Iberians rendered it,
[ Tarragona is a port city in northeastern Spain’s Catalonia region. Many ancient ruins remain from its time as the Roman colony of Tarraco. The Amfiteatre Romà is a 2nd-century arena facing the Mediterranean, the Necropolis contains Roman tombs, and traces of the Forum stand among the alleys of the walled, medieval Old Town. A walkway along the ramparts, the Passeig Arqueològic, has sweeping views of the city.]
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarraco
I know it's a leap, but place names in much later times held names like Gebrel Tarik today's Gibraltar what if this is the same for Taharka of a thousand yrs earlier.
[ Taharka was the Egyptian pharaoh that invaded Spain, referred to in the early Spanish Chronicles as Tarraco. There are indisputable reference to the manuscript by Florian de Ocampo Cronica General published in Medina Del Campo in 1553. However, that most persuasive of all is the fact that cartouches of the Egyptian Kings of the period were found in Spain. Evidence of such cartouches may be found in the journal of the Epigraphic society (Vol 7, No. 171 - April 1979). The cartouche of shishonq was found in tomb 16, Almunecar, Spain.

The above blog have the same info as what is found in Dr Van Sertima's work African Presence In Early Europe..could it be that this town was the place of Taharka's landing.
