ChrisD Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Evening All Just a point of interest. On a recent visit to La Linea near Gibraltar we found that the marina there (Alcaidesa Marina) have set aside an area as an aire. There are 20 marked pitches close to the water and an emptying point is available. Not sure about water as the hose had been left in the waste point. Gross. The rest of the aire is good, reasonably secure and the view and general area very interesting. There is no hookup. The rate is 12 euros per night. We have visited this area for years but have never been impressed with any local accomodation for campervans. This may well be a breath of fresh aire for campervans in this area.

PJay Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Whilst in Spain, this September ,We have been told of a new campsite in that area, run by a british couple, that will be in the ACSI book next year. It was open this year, and can get to Gib easy. Don't have the name to hand at the moment, but when I "find" the name , I will post details. Unless of course some-one else comes up with the details before me PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomboy99 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 All, I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I live near alcadaisa, I know where the port is and i know where camping bella vista is. I was enquiring about the aires? Definitely looks like those web addresses have been blocked to Gibraltarians, Rgds Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomboy99 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks Brian, This is La Linea, the Marina is called Alcadaisa, but is nowhere near Alcadaisa, thus my confusion. I can view the links above whilst at home in Spain, so it looks like the Spanish Gov, have blocked it to Gibraltarians.... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom...as for the location being in La Linea but called Marina Alcadaisa,the Spanish do this a lot, near us for instance we have Orihuela City inland but they control the coast 35Km away and call it Orihuela Costa, there are lots more situations like this in Spain so not too unusual... This Aire was only opened on the 19th June this year just as an aside. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hi Tom The easiest way to find the aire from Gib is on foot, come out of gib and turn left. Cross the road the leads down to the roundabout where the traffic queues to get into gib. Then on the left is a pedestrian access into the marina. The signs for the airs are just down there. There is no signage from the road and I have not seen any publicity for this aire. Unless you were actually in the marina you would not know it was there Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomboy99 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I know the place very well but did not know they called it Marina Alcadaisa, I sometimes park my car there, , when not commuting on my motorbike, just didn`t know there was a secure aire. As LaLinea is a bit dodgy, to say the least. Anyway good to know if I am planning a night out in the vicinity. Rgds Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mitch Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 We spent two nights at La Linea last November and would not recommend it to anyone - particularly when it is raining and the wind is howling. a God-forsaken place. It is also quite intimidating around the take-away restaurants by the border. Presumably there is a bit of black market activity going on.

tomboy99 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I hear you, the town is very nice with nice bars and restaurants. Problems with crime are pretty high, due to the poverty. I know a lot of people that have been mugged, especially wealthy looking Gibraltarians. I had a brick do quite a bit of damage whilst driving last year along the coastal road by the Marina, It was just kids, disillusioned I suppose. Chased them for 30 mins on their scooters and almost got them, Police did., My car is gibraltar registered. Please don't be put of, unfortunately the dodgy people hang around the border area, dealing in Cigs etc. Important to leave cars and vans in secure areas, as the locals nick contents regularly...
