La Linea, Spain from a top The Rock of Gibraltar

La Linea is a relatively young city in the context of cities in Spain. Most Spanish cities you visit have churches and cathedrals dating back hundreds of years, La Linea does not. The original settlement was San Roque and prior to the mid 1700's and 1800's La Linea was sparsely inhabited by fishermen, countrymen, and tradesmen of the age. In the early 1700's The King of Spain had a Line made by the Spanish army to keep the British from taking more territory, hence why it is called La Linea, or THE LINE.

The city is flat and its easy to walk and bike everywhere. If you are exploring La Linea or Gibraltar, this cityscape overview can give you a glimpse of what you might see.
