It's where Europe meets Africa and it has a bit of both worlds! Breathtaking! I am glad I had some time to spend here, on the way to Ronda. The railway station is in the middle of the city, I took a train to Ronda, but before I was able to walk its streets, explore the great market they have, see the people who inhabit this place, a mix of population, always nice and fascinating. I loved their market, rich in merchandise, smells and local flavors. The streets are cute and charming. Nice views! Algeciras is off the beaten path, but if you are in the area, check it out even for 2 hours, it is so worth it! Very unique!

It was an amazing sight, worth seeing on our journey. I thought the cargoland in my hometown of Philadelphia was crazy, but the acres and acres of warehouses and cargo containers in Algericas is stunning! The Port of Algeciras is one of the largest in Europe and the 25th largest port in the world! Lots of oil imports! They also have passenger ferries for Morocco.

You can literally see Africa from here on a clear day. It's a romantic spot that'll always be special in my heart. Quiet, bit breezy, a nice break from the action. A place that makes you reflect about the world we live in, with various cultures that meet. There's the lighthouse, big and bright and the beautiful white mosque building with mountains behinds. That's all. And the Mediterranean sea spreading out. It's fascinating and if you'll go in the area, this is a wonderful spot to visit. Unique and beautiful. Sure, it just enticed me some more to visit Morocco, being so close to it, but I'll leave it for some other time. Although, it's calling my name....
