La Linea De La Concepcion hotels - About La Linea De La Concepcion
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.
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.
Gibraltarians are referred to popularly as llanitos, which some interpret as people of the flatlands, from the Spanish word llano for flat - the people of La linea themselves used to be referred to as Llanitos since they actually inhabit the plains and marsh lands surrounding Gibraltar.
The people of La Linea have traditionally found work in Gibraltar, arising from the days in the 18th century when Gibraltar was an important naval port. This was adversely affected by the total closure of the border by the Spanish government between 1969 and 1982 because of the dispute running since 1704 between Britain and Spain over which country held the title to the sovereignty of Gibraltar. Since the border was fully reopened in 1985 many Gibraltarians have moved to La Línea, where property prices and the cost of living are much lower and there is greater access to 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 an important military garrison with substantial fortifications and a port.
