Getting across

  • Bus from Algeciras, Málaga or Seville to La Línea bus station, then walk 5 min to the frontier.
  • On the Gibraltar side, walk or take the city bus into town (about 20 min on foot).

Scams and traps

  • Parking touts in La Línea charging for public spaces.
  • 'Tax-free' tobacco sellers; limits on what you can take back into Spain are strictly enforced.

Tips

  • Walk rather than drive: car queues can be long.
  • Carry your passport even if you are an EU or UK citizen.
