Tackling Traffic and Speed Limits

In for a Ride: Car Class Recommendations

Key Attractions
Drive to Playa de Getares, where the sand meets the serene waters of the bay, or visit the Acebuchal reserve, home to Europe’s oldest wild olive trees. Check out the bustling public market, “Mercado Ingeniero Torroja”, where you can taste some of Andalusia’s finest fresh produce.
Getting to Algeciras
Adventurers can fly into either Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport or Jerez Airport and then rent a car to reach Algeciras. The city also has a major port and is well-connected by train routes.
Will You Need Some Pocket Change?
