BANK ACCOUNT
by caldarrosta
If you have to open a bank account I suggest you CAJAMAR
They have small fees for the Credit Card (€5 per year if well remember) and they give you he card very soon.
English spoken (not great) at the bank.
Watch out if you withdraw money from other banks because they charge you a lot (even €8 sometimes).

I'm like most others here, I passed through La Linea on my way to Gibraltar. Since the inflated costs and English pounds were going to suck our wallets dry, we opted to stay at a more economic hostel in La Linea.
65 pounds to stay in Gibraltar at a youth hostel, verses 55 Eur to stay in La Linea... that's an easy decision.
Since 1704, Spain and Britain have fought for control of The Rock. Since it was in important naval port, neither wanted to relinquish their claims. However the British ultimately claimed victory.
Relations have not always been amicable. Several battles and hard times have occurred during the centuries. The border was completely closed from 1969 to 1982. Thankfully border restrictions were lifted in 1985.

La Linea de la Concepcion

"Plaza de la Constitucion"
"La Feria de La Linea"
The Fair in La Linea is a crazy event where everybody goes out everyday and everynight to drink and get on all the attractions!!
This is the biggest festival in La Linea of the whole year.
If you live near the Fair forget about sleeping during the night...I might be pretty hard....
