Gibraltar International Airport plays a big role not only for English people living in Gibraltar but also for Spaniards because this airport is right on the border. Due to the fact that long-term parking is not possible right next to GIB Airport in Gibraltar, all Spaniards park their cars in La Linea de La Concepción, behind the border with Gibraltar and then cross the border on foot. Another option for Spanish passengers is to leave their vehicles at home and go to the airport terminal by taxi or shuttle bus. However, as a general rule, most travelers flying out of Gibraltar Airport are driven by friends or family members to the Gibraltar border to be dropped off there. After that, they just have to cross the border on foot and walk about 150 meters to the terminal building. Nevertheless, all travelers from Spain, who drive to the airport terminal in their own car, must keep in mind that parking in the outdoor car park (Zone B) in front of the terminal building is limited to a maximum of 3 hours. So where do the Spaniards leave their vehicles when they fly out of Gibraltar Airport? One such parking option is the Santa Bárbara outdoor car park located in La Linea de La Concepción (Cádiz), across the Spanish border.
