Find the birds

by puerto_lover

Algeciras is on the doorstep of some of the best birding areas in Europe. The vast ALCORNACALES PARK stretches northwards from the city outskirts. Eagles and other raptors are common. This is the spot where migration routes across to Africa occur and at certain times of the year you can see plenty of bird life. Visit the local government's centre for details of inland walks and roads as well as more birding news. It's at a place Huertagrande also used for accom. at a village called Pelayo which on the road from Algeciras to Tarifa (Kms 96) . The entrance is on the sea side of the road. A visitor centre is available for maps etc.

Algeciras.....ghost town

"nice litle town"

I decide to stay one night in algeciras and discovered it. my mistake was to do it on week end, everything close, like a ghost town. even do you can see that is an interesting city ( a lot of morroccans live there ) then has a mixture of influences on architecture. then if you have time visite it, but not on weekends.

A day in Algeciras

"Semana Santa in Algeciras"

Algeciras has always conjured up Morocco in my mind, but this is very much Spain and during Holy Week, the nightly processions through the city are very well attended.
But of course there is much more to see and if you like shopping head for the big store on the port side El Corte Ingles / Hipercop. You can find everything here as well as a nice restaurant with views over to Gibraltar ! But don't leave a tip - it's not allowed - company rules !
