Algeciras

Travel Guide
Algeciras
Algeciras will transport you to the past surrounded by beautiful natural surroundings: relax and make out the African coastline and the Rock of Gibraltar from this marvellous city.

On the charming Bay of Gibraltar, Algeciras is the biggest city in the Campo de Gibraltar region. Take a holiday in Algeciras and enjoy the beauty and range of leisure activities you'll find on its beaches, such as Getares and El Rinconcillo. The city's bustling commercial port enables you travel effortlessly to cities on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar, such as Ceuta and Tangier.

Treat yourself to one of our cheap trips to Algeciras and start your trail at Plaza Alta, the city's epicentre. There you will find the chapel of Nuestra Señora de Europa and the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Palma, two of the city's most emblematic buildings. After visiting these two sites, soak up the city's atmosphere by strolling down Calle Alta and Calle del Convento, now called Calle Alfonso XI. Here you will find Algeciras' Casa Consistorial, its town hall.

Take advantage of package holidays to Algeciras and prepare yourself to explore its historic past. Don't miss the Roman ovens of El Rinconcillo or the ruins of the Aljama mosque, from the 8th century and one of the most important remains of the Arab period in Algeciras, together with the archaeological park of the Meriníes walls.

Check out holiday deals to Algeciras and reach the city by boat or by road, along the AP-7 motorway. The average annual temperature is around 17°C, a climate that invites you to stroll the city's streets and shops and finish up with a bowl of gazpacho or a good plate of fish.

The views from the city across the Bay of Gibraltar will leave you speechless. From any of the city's beaches, you can catch a glimpse of the imposing silhouette of the Peak of Gibraltar. What are you waiting for? Let the sun, sea breeze and Andalusian charm captivate you!

"In terms of convenience of proximity to bus stationa and port, this cant be beat. If you are driving, please note parking is not free (10 to 12 euros a night), and it is tricky to find the parking entrance when driving (so ask for specific directions before arrival). The rooms are nice, they even ..."
