Exploring Around Algeciras, Spain

When we arrived at the APMM container terminal in Algeciras, Spain, the weather was good  to explore the sights around. Algeciras is an industrial port, and the gateway to Gibraltar, Tangier, Ceuta and other neighboring areas.

From the ship's bridge wing , we can see Gibraltar and passed by it going in and out of the port.

The Paco de Lucia monument is found at the round about at the junction of Paseo Victoria and Calle Ponce de Leon.

A quick snap in front of the Town Hall of Algeciras.

The Archaeological park of the Merinies  walls in front of Maria Cristina Park was in the middle of the shopping district of the  Old town.
