'''Algeciras''' is a large, industrial city on the west side of Gibraltar Bay, some 3.5 miles from the Rock. The city was developed under the Franco dictatorship following his closure of the border between [[Spain]] and [[Gibraltar]] in order to counterbalance the growing strength of the [[Gibraltar]] economy. The city has a large commercial port, with fast ferries plying the route to [[Tangier]] in [[Morocco]] and a huge oil refinery. South of the commercial port a marina has been installed in the basin of Darsena del Saladillo, which is operated by the Real Club Nautico de Algeciras. The marina offers good shelter in all but strong SE winds, when a scend enters which is uncomfortable rather than dangerous.

Algeciras is a large, industrial city on the west side of Gibraltar Bay, some 3.5 miles from the Rock. The city was developed under the Franco dictatorship following his closure of the border between Spain and Gibraltar in order to counterbalance the growing strength of the Gibraltar economy. The city has a large commercial port, with fast ferries plying the route to Tangier in Morocco and a huge oil refinery. South of the commercial port, a marina has been installed in the basin of Darsena del Saladillo, which is operated by the Real Club Nautico de Algeciras. The marina offers good shelter in all but strong SE winds when it enters which is uncomfortable rather than dangerous.
