It's somewhere off the Costa Blanca of Spain, but I can't find the particular rock.
Your final clue is 'Roldan'.FT.Comment

Yay! KvH gets it!
Legend has it that an ancient giant by the name of Roldan created the gap because he had been told his wife would die when the sun set behind Puig Campana’s summit. By creating a great notch in the mountain he could enable her to live for just a little bit longer. The rock removed from the gap was tossed into the sea and became Benidorm Island.
I can see it from the beach (we are a little further south when on holiday) when it isn't too hazy.FT.Comment

ahh.. fascinating. I wonder if anyone has bothered to measure the two? I'm sure the Island is 100 times the size of the gap!

Here's one that should not be too difficult. No, I haven't been there (as if I have been anywhere) but would love to visit one day.Comment

A church somewhere in England? Although the spire seems a little unusual to me.
PS only a few intrepid climbers get up to my gap in the summit, so I guess no-one has yet disproved the legend
