Continuing with Gunnar's Vacation series :
Looking at the signs, we are in France. Three interesting elements are close to the location:
- A beach
- A roundabout
- A supermarket of the "Spar" brand
Based on the environment, climate, and houses, one could guess it is in the South of France. However, let’s use Overpass Turbo with the entire country in scope. (This means the query will take some time, so I’ve set a long timeout to ensure it completes.)
[out:json][timeout:800];
// Define France area
area["name"="France"][admin_level=2]->.fr;
// Find roundabouts in France
(
node["junction"="roundabout"](area.fr);
way["junction"="roundabout"](area.fr);
)->.roundabouts;
// Find beaches in France
(
way["natural"="beach"](area.fr);
relation["natural"="beach"](area.fr);

// Find Spar supermarkets
(
node["shop"="supermarket"]["brand"="Spar"](area.fr);
way["shop"="supermarket"]["brand"="Spar"](area.fr);
)->.spar;
// Filter Spar shops near beaches (100m)
(
node.spar(around.beaches:100);
way.spar(around.beaches:100);

// Filter Spar shops near roundabouts (300m)
(
node.spar_near_beaches(around.roundabouts:300);
way.spar_near_beaches(around.roundabouts:300);
);
// Output result
out center;The creator of the challenge actually asked for this query (which I gave him) for his own writeup because he didn't do it that way.
We obtain this results in Olmeto, south of Corsica, France looking exactly like our location, let's verify it with street view :
Here we go, we found the location.
