Algreciras - Tangier Ferries

Algeciras is a modern port and a leader in Europe for many reasons. It offers a direct connection between Europe and North Africa. More than 3.5 million passengers and over 600,000 vehicles use the port annually. The port includes a new maritime station and has an area of over 19,000 square metres. There are different types of services, including restaurants, travel agencies, shops, a bus station and taxi rank.

Algeciras is an industrial city supporting a deepwater container port and nearby oil refinery. In the port area there are many Moroccans in transit, resulting in a strong Arab influence with many signs in Arabic as well as Spanish. In the backstreets, there are several traditional tea shops which specialise in the traditional Moroccan mint tea. There are lots of reasonably priced restaurants to try, and several have good views of the nearby Rock of Gibraltar.
