The Best Tapas Before You Cross the Frontier

Because La Línea de la Concepción serves primarily as a transit hub, many travellers miss the fact that it boasts one of the most authentic, working-class Andalusian tapas scenes on the coast.

Escaping the Tourist Trap

While the touristy options might tempt you, walking ten minutes into the center of La Línea (around Plaza de la Iglesia and Calle Real) reveals dozens of bustling local bars.

A Strategic Dining Stop

If you have a late flight out of Malaga, a superb strategy is to cross the border out of Gibraltar in the late afternoon. Have our chauffeur meet you in the center of La Línea rather than right at the hectic border gate.

You can spend two hours enjoying incredible plates of jamón ibérico, fried fish, and local sherry at a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere. Once you are finished, your driver will load your bags directly outside the restaurant and whisk you up the AP-7 to the airport.

Turn a boring waiting period into a fantastic culinary experience.
