La Linea lies on the isthmus that joins Gibraltar to mainland Spain. Many people who work in Gibraltar have their homes in La Linea and walk across the border to work each day.


Spanish property La LineaLa Línea is situated on the shore of the Bay of Algeciras on a sandy plain that runs from the Sierra Carbonera to Gibraltar. It has the reputation of being one of the sunniest towns in Spain with almost 3,000 hours of sunshine while, thanks to the 74% humidity and constant cool breezes, it does not to suffer from extreme heat.

In recent years, the town has been developed and reformed, and is starting to take its place as one of the region's most popular tourist centres.

The name La Línea comes from the line of fortifications built by Philip V when Gibraltar was ceded to the English. The ruins of the Santa Barbara fortress, one of the last of Philip V's fortifications, were destroyed by the British during the Peninsular War (1804-14) to prevent them falling into the hands of the French. On the Playa de Levante (eastern beach) there is a watchtower, which dates back to 1630.

The popular La Atunara area, close to the fishing quarter, small harbour and church is where the town originally developed. Much of it is preserved and today it is known for the many bars and restaurants near the beach, specialising in fresh fish dishes.
