How bad is Gibraltar?!?!

In the early morning we took yet another bus to go back to Malaga, then from there, our journey would have been Malaga-La Linea de la Conception-Gibraltar. When we arrived at the Line, we headed straight towards the big hotel I had booked on the internet seizing a super deal: 30 € per room for a 4 star hotel with swimming pool (not used), wellness center (not used) etc. .. We deposited our bags and immediately went out to find a restaurant to have lunch: man, what a sad place! Although it was 4 pm, everything was closed, even the restaurants seemed to be ready to kick people out: it’s siesta time. We stopped at a little place downtown, where we had a decent meal, and then we moved towards the border with Gibraltar. We walked through customs, where the policeman asked us for the documents, and then we found ourselves on the famous runway aircraft that divides the border between Spain and Gibraltar. What a cool feeling! We could immediately see the Rock of Gibraltar that I would have liked to visit, but since we were staying there only for a short time, we simply observed it from below.

As soon as we passed through customs, we saw the first signs of England: the red telephone boxes, and Sebastian didn’t  miss the chance...
We reached (after a couple of miles) the city center. It’s nice, if you want, and it’s typically English, but other than that, there is really nothing. We had a quick walk through the streets of the city, we stopped at an internet point and then we went back. We’re tired, it’s evening, and we chose a little place to dine in La Linea, which I would say was very good if it hadn’t been for the surrounding area ... which I would define as disturbing. We’re in the middle of summer, but it was foggy and the atmosphere was the one of a horror movie ... Better eat and go straight to bed and forget this terrible village!
