Jonah refuses to go where God directs him, so instead he sets off directly east to a port city in Spain, right on the Mediterranean Sea. Towards what port city does Jonah head?
Answer Tarshish
It's believed that Tarshish is now known as Tartessus in Spain. It was directly west of the Strait of Gibraltar. It was about as far as you could go west in in the known world. Any further and Jonah would have discovered America.
