Gibraltar -- La Linea

[mdsgu]

Does anyone know how to book a tour of La Linea?  Apparently it has opened up, but how to book?

You maybe won't be able to book any tour in la Linea until you actually arrive there, having crossed the border from Gibraltar into Spain, and it may be faster to do that on foot. Border crossings, how long they take and whether better on foot or in a vehicle is something you would need to research, also  something you would need to allow time for in both directions.My understanding is that a good number of residents of Spain cross each day to work in Gubraltar so there may be certain times which are busier than others.And Gibraltar is not in the EU and Spain is, so there may be rules about that too.

Ii expect there is info to be found online.

 

 All I knowabout la Linea  is based on a tv documentary type programme which indicated that la Linea is one of the poorest towns in Spain and that it is popular with drug smugglers crossing the sea from Morocco,and trying to catch them and the drugs they are carrying is something which keeps the local authorities busy.

As per Edinburgher's postyou wouldn't want to do a tour of La Linea, It's just a very mediocre border town.

 

And I'd have thought that tours of that corner of Andalucia would be organised by operators in Gib. or one of the Costa del Sol resort towns. Those in Gib probably drive their customers to the border for them to be walked across to a vehicle near the border in La Linea, to avoid lengthy lines of vehicles waiting to cross.

 

Where are you planning to visit?

And the OP would also be advised to check border contorl entry regulations  as would be entering the EU from a non EU country.  Depending on passport held, would a visa be needed or would he/she be visa exempt?

 

Must say that the programme didn't inspire us to cross to la Linea for sightseeing.
