Línea de la Concepción, La

La Línea de la Concepción is a city of 63,000 people in the Cadiz province of southwestern Spain, just over the border from Gibraltar. It doesn't have much to recommend it as a tourist destination, but as you will have to at least pass through it if you're entering Gibraltar by land, its many atmospheric bars and restaurants might warrant a visit.
