Algeciras Travel Blogs

I really wanted to see Gibraltar. And a piece of Africa. It gave me the feeling that I've almost been there. So we took a great drive from Ronda to Algeciras through mountains, it took us some time to go a little more than 100km. We didn't look for easy ways, no paid road, of course, some dead ends…

Driving all along Cádiz, south of Spain

Wales to Mali in a £100 car!

I flew into Sevilla, rented a car, and headed south to the coast. I visited several interesting and beautiful cities along the way. There were hill towns, coastal port towns and beautiful beaches.

My company sent me for a knowledge transfer for 1 week to Hamburg + 3 weeks to Spain,an opportunity I couldn’t miss.Despite the big amount of work, lack of sleep, hectoliters of coffee I got to see some of the places I’ve been to as little child. The craziest was a weekend I spent in the south of Spain when a friend of mine visited me in Cadiz and convinced me to make the following tour within 2 days with her: Cadiz-Algeciras-Gibraltar-Algeciras-Tanger-Algeciras-Sevilla-Madrid.

Travel guides describe Algeciras as a boring, dangerous port city.  Don't believe it.  The city has a lot to offer.   I guess I love this city because it was my first experience in the Old World back in 96.  Also, during the years that I was in Morocco on a tourist visa, this …
