What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Go nextYou're probably heading to Gibraltar, but if not you can go west around the bay to Algeciras; there's not a lot to see, apart from the Rock from a different angle, but you could always catch a ferry to Morocco or to Ceuta, a slice of Spain in Africa.
