Algeciras is a Town of Spanish Mediterranean


One of the pleasures of Spain is that people visit many places in Spain on their way to Morocco. Algeciras is one of the places that falls on the way. It has a wonderful location because it is the last town before Gibraltar. It has historical as well as modern day importance because of its great location in Spain.

Algeciras, being a town at the end of Spanish Mediterranean, holds great importance as a port. Historically, it was a tourist resort and now it is more of an industrial center of Spain. It gained the modern day importance since the times of British-Spain War. Franco developed it to hold on to the Spanish workers, who were otherwise working in the British naval dockyards in those times.

Algeciras still has some selected areas, which are part of the old town. There are places in Algeciras that haven't changed much in last few decades. The area near the Plaza Alta still holds the vintage looks of past fifty years. That creates a beautiful contrast between the modern as well as peaceful old areas of the town. However, there are also many places worth seeing in the older areas of the town.

There are many modern day buildings in Algeciras, which satisfy the requirements of the current times. Almost the whole town appears modern because of the modern infrastructure. Presently, the town is of a great economical importance to Spain. The business community of Spain looks up to Algeciras as an important financial town.

Some of the most fascinating places in the town of Algeciras include Plaza de Torros, Church of Senora de la Palma, Plaza Alta, Municipal Museum, Capilla Del Santa Cristo de la Alameda, Constitutional House and Calle Panaderia Market. They built most of these places in 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and they are still well- maintained. That makes them of great importance to the Spanish authorities, as well as to visitors to this town.
