Could Atlantis have been in Southern Spain?

 Recent scientific evidence gives credence to this theory.

Recently, I have reevaluated my thoughts about the site of the fabled city of Atlantis.

Like thousands of people before me, I thought Plato's description of the destruction was written because he'd witnessed, from afar, the devastation. This is why people think Atlantis is near Greece; ancient texts from countries around the area tell of a great explosion followed by the sky turning black for days. At this time there is a record of the island of Santorini exploding in a massive volcanic eruption that caused a shock wave felt around the Eastern Mediterranean, could this have caused the parting of the Red Sea? The gap in time that allowed the Jews to escape could have been the time it took the shock wave to subside.

There is also records of a port in Southern Spain disappearing in an eruption at the same time, and recent diving expeditions, if not proved definitive proof have given rise to some new lines of thought. Perhaps Atlantis means near the Atlantic, or on the Atlantic shoreline?
