Spain and Portugal

La Línea and Gibraltar

A few weeks ago we were in Gibraltar, staying in the Queensway Quay marina. Then we sailed into the Mediterranean for a few weeks, and now have returned to the Gibraltar area, and are now in Marina Alcaidesa, in La Linea Spain, just across the border from Gibraltar.  We came here to have some boat work done, and more importantly, to pick up our son Caj and his friend Nico, who are joining us on the boat for a month. We are so happy about that! 

Here are some photos of Gibraltar and La Linea:

A well deserved pint after the hike

We are waiting in La Linea for good weather so we can continue on to Tangier.
