FEATURED LA LÍNEA DE LA CONCEPCIÓN HOTELS - CADIZ PROVINCE, SPAIN
La Línea de la Concepción (more often referred to as La Línea) is a town in Spain, in the province of Cádiz in Andalucia. It lies on the eastern isthmus of the Bay of Gibraltar on the border with the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, with which it has close economic and social links. It is situated on the sandy isthmus which unites the Rock of Gibraltar with the coast in the eastern flank of the Bay of Gibraltar, between Sierra Carbonera and the Rock of Gibraltar.

The town derives its name firstly from the línea or boundary line separating Spain from Gibraltar and secondly from the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Its people are called in Spanish linenses.

The people of La Línea have traditionally found work in Gibraltar, from the days in the 18th century when Gibraltar was an important naval port. This stopped with the total closure of the border by the Spanish government between 1969 and 1982 as a result of the dispute originating in 1960s Franco era between Britain and Spain regarding the sovereignty of Gibraltar. Since the border was fully reopened in 1985 a number of Gibraltarians have again moved to La Línea, where property prices and the cost of living are much lower and there is a wider range of shopping, leisure facilities and entertainment.

La Línea is a major supplier of fruit and vegetables to Gibraltar; other industries include the manufacture of cork, liquor, and fish paste. It is also had an important military garrison with substantial fortifications and a port.

When the Romans took over this part of Spain they changed the name to 'Speculum Rotae' and then when the Moors conquered, they changed it again to 'Rabita Rutta'.
