It is also easy to reach Gibraltar from mainland Spain. There
are daily bus services from Málaga and Algeciras to the border
town of La Línea de la Concepcion. From the bus station it
is just a few minutes walk to the border. Various tour operators
also run day trips from the Costa del Sol resorts to Gibraltar.
By car you take the N-340 and turn off at San Roque for La Línea.
The route to the border is well sign-posted. Unfortunately, lengthy
queues can form for cars wishing to go onto and leave the Rock.
It is often better to park your car in La Línea and walk
across the frontier.
To check queues at the border call Frontier Queue Information -
Tel: 42777.
Although security at the border has been greatly improved in recent
years you may still be approached by individuals trying to sell
you a ticket to enter Gibraltar. Entry to Gibraltar is FREE! You
will need a valid British or EU passport - Spanish nationals can
also use the identity card. Visitors entering from Spain, who require
a visa to enter Spain, should beware. By going to Gibraltar you
will be deemed to have left Spain and so may well require a new
visa to cross back into Spain.
The walk from the border into the centre of Gibraltar takes just
15 minutes. There are bus services to various parts of the Rock
at the bus stop, on the Gibraltar side of the border, opposite the
airport terminal entrance. There is also a taxi rank and Tourist
Information Office.
