Overview
La Línea de la Concepción is a working-class Spanish city of 63,000 people that most travelers visit simply because it sits directly across the border from Gibraltar. The 30-minute walk from the city center to central Gibraltar makes it a convenient base, especially when Gibraltan hotel prices are prohibitively high.
