Atlantis off the coast of Spain?
BBC NEWS Science/Nature Satellite images 'show Atlantis': "Antiquity"
This article appeared in 2004 but the research is still being carried on.
I personally think there is some credence to it and it is well worth consideration.
One of the biggest problems with placing Atlantis in the Mediterranean is that no one who does so can convincingly answer where 'beyond the pillars of Heracles' is. However, the most famous and longest known pillars are what we call the strait of Gibraltar.
Finding evidence of a significant civilization beyond them helps to make sense of the Atlantis story.
Moreover, the evidence of what destruction can come from an earthquake such as might destroy part of the Canary Islands makes perfect sense of the destruction that befell Atlantis.
More on this in future posts.

PS There is no end of debate. Another scientist suggests Ireland...
