Algeciras Unmissables

Algeciras serves as a strategic gateway between Europe and Africa, shaped by a deep archaeological heritage. This collection features the 14th-century Marinid Walls, Roman fish salting remains, and defensive watchtowers like Torre del Fraile. Architectural landmarks include the rationalist Mercado de Abastos, designed by Eduardo Torroja, and the 19th-century Town Hall. Cultural sites like the Municipal Museum and the tribute to Paco de Lucía provide insight into the city's artistic and Andalusi past, while coastal overlooks provide views across the Strait of Gibraltar.
