How to get to the show
By Road
It is easy to reach Gibraltar from mainland Spain. There are
daily bus services from Málaga and Algeciras to the
border town of La Línea de la Concepcion. From the
bus station it is just a few minutes’ walk to the border.
Various tour operators also run day trips from the Costa del
Sol resorts to Gibraltar.
By car you take the E15-A7 (former N340) coastal
road and turn off at San Roque for La Línea (Exit 119).
From this point the route to Gibraltar is very well sign-posted.
Unfortunately, lengthy queues can form for cars wishing to
go onto and leave the Rock due to passport control and customs.
It is often better to park your car in La Línea and
take the short walk across the frontier.
To check queues, in particular for exiting,
at the border call Frontier Queue Information - Tel: (00 350)
200 42777.
Once crossing the border, although the Marina
is close by, taxis are available to take you to the main town
before coming to the Show.
By Rail
Gibraltar itself has no railway connections, however local
towns San Roque and Algeciras, in Spain, are both served by
Spain’s national rail network – visit www.renfe.es
for further information and bookings.
By Sea
If you’re coming by sea, we have some limited VIP visitor
berths available, right in the heart of the Show. To book
one of these email info@gibraltarboatshow.com
titling your message “VIP Berth”.
Ocean Village
Once you are over the border in Gibraltar, Ocean Village is
no more than a leisurely five or ten minute walk.
Cross the runway, pass the petrol station on
your right, and at the first main roundabout turn right towards
the sports centre following signs for ‘Marinas’.
Once you pass the BMW garage on your right hand side, all
lanes will lead onto the Marina and the Show.

Parking
If you are coming to the Show by car, parking is available
in the main Ocean Village car park. To get there, rather than
turn right at the main roundabout (see ‘How to get to
the Show-Ocean Village’), carry straight on and follow
the signs to Europort (right hand lane). At the next turn
right and immediately on the right will be the tunnelled access
to the Ocean Village car park. Public parking is only available
on the lower floor and clamping is in operation at ground
level as these spaces are reserved for marina residents.
Crossing the Border
Entry to Gibraltar is FREE, do not let anyone try to sell
you an entrance ticket! You will need a valid British or EU
passport or a Visa that allows access to the UK. EU nationals
can also use their identity card. Visitors entering from Spain,
who require a visa to enter Spain, should be aware as by going
to Gibraltar you will be deemed to have left Spain and so
may well require a new visa to cross back into Spain.

Village’s premier nightspot – Savannah –
