Spain Info and Properties

The busy port of Algeciras is the main departure point for ferry routes to Morocco, located at the industrial town of Algeciras - this is not a tourist spot.

The A7 motorway connects Algeceras along the Costa del Sol to Malaga and beyond, the 140Km journey taking a little over an hour and a half by car. Meanwhile, the border with Gibraltar is about 25 minutes or 20Km.

There are several bus routes connecting Algeciras with the rest of Spain.

The main train station, where there are fast (not high speed) Altaria and slower regional trains, is 300m from the ferry port. The Altaria train takes approximately 5 1/2 hrs from Madrid.
