Places in Spain - LaLinea, Andalucia

 

LaLinea (or La Linea de la Concepcion) as its proper name is known, is situated at the tip of southern Spain and is the linking point between Spain and the British territory of Gibraltar. It is part of the province of Cadiz. It is in LaLinea that you will pass through customs to enter Gibraltar. LaLinea has a long seafront, comprising of two beaches, Playa de Santa Barbara and Playa de Levante. There is also a smaller beach as you approach Gibraltar on the port side of LaLinea. It is one of the last places along the Mediterranean coast.

La Linea is a relatively modern town which has its origins in the line of fortifications built by Philip V after the loss of Gibraltar.

 
La Linea has a compact shopping area, based around Calle Real and Plaza Cruz Herrara. It is in this Plaza that you can find the Museo del Istmo, located in the old military headquarters. There is a large outdoor market on Wednesdays. This can be found along Avda. Principe.

La Linea has a bullring that attracts large crowds, a theatre by the name of Teatro Municipal la Velada, a museum of bullfighting, several large churches and a park by the name of Princess Sofia. A watch tower dating from 1630 exists on the Playa de Levante. There are several tourist offices here, one of which can be found on Avda. Principe, near the customs.

LaLinea has always been an important military point and has the remains of an extensive bunker system from the World Wars, all of which can still be seen.
