Most travellers come to Algeciras for its numerous ferry connections to Morocco and don't spend more than a few hours in the city. Given the town's seedy, industrial air and lack of any discernible charm, this isn't very surprising. Be careful in Algeciras: the touts, moneychangers and ticket sellers can be quite pushy at times, and the streets can be intimidating at night.The north-south coastal road, Avenida de la Marina, is Algeciras's main artery. The '''tourist information office''' (''Calle Cervantes''), which has its work cut out for it, is well signed from this road. http://wikitravel.org/en/Algeciras
