Crossing Gibraltar by ferry from Algeciras or Tarifa? |
Travel Info I'll reach Spain from London by air, than I'll cross Gibraltar by ferry. From London I've flight to Malaga and Jerez[near to Gibraltar]. I can take a ferry from Algeciras or Tarifa. To reach easily Algeciras or Tarifa which air port [Malaga or Jerez] will be the best? which is the easyest way to reach Algeciras from Malaga?How much time it will take? Travel Tips Hi, Jerez is slightly closer to both Algeciras and Tarifa. It麓s aprox 34 km from Cadiz which is 100km from Tarifa and 70 km from Algeciras (From Jerez there are aprox. 100km to Algeciras and 130km to Tarifa . Malaga is only and by highway yet youll find traffic jams, uggly road and more confusinf trafic. Jerez ia a pretty town less traffic congestion, or no congestion also smaller airport and more relaxed than M谩laga麓s traffic and airport There are more ferries from Algeciras than from Tarifa. The distance to Africa is more or less the same, slightly shorter from Tarifa than Algeciras . However Algeciras is not such a pleasent city since the port is too large and you have the sensation that everyone there is only on transit, while Tarifa is a very pretty, nice beaches, nice People and you can see Africa麓s coast much more clearly since its closer. Also since its less known outside Spain as link to Africa there is less trafic and people movement. Its also wind surf and parapente-sruf - or wichm麓call it" paradise. Near Tarifa are the Roman ruins and Beach of Bolonia. Very Beautiful. Tarifa麓s Castle and city are pretty and the wind is great - for windlovers like myself. So I would go to Tarifa.

PS: Sorry the Spanish server for Mappy site was down and had to translate for U. Surprise! Did not translate as you can see the step by step instructions to Malga but I think you will still understandd or try the spanish site yourself at: http://www7.mappy.com Also Tarifa is the famous site of the naval battle of Trafalgar where admiral Nelson beat the French - Afrancesado Spaniards fleet. Hope it helped S Others I have a funny feeling that you may think that Gibraltar is an island. It is not and is accessed via La Linia de la Concepcion, (La Linea). A word of warning, Algeciras is not a nice place. As a previous contributor hints. Be careful. It is the only place in Spain where I lock my car doors when passing through. Been there for a few months. |
