Harbours around the world

Some of the interesting harbours, I have visited, around the world.

Spain:

Algeciras: (Gibraltar)

Algeciras is principally a transport hub and industrial city. Its principal activities are connected with the port, which serves as the main embarkation point between Spain and Tangier and other ports in Morocco as well as the Canary Islands and the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. It is ranked as the 16th busiest port in the world. The city also has a substantial fishing industry and exports a range of agricultural products from the surrounding area, including cereals, tobacco and farm animals.
In recent years it has become a significant tourist destination, with popular day trips to Tarifa to see bird migrations; to Gibraltar, to see the territory's unusual sights and culture; and to the Bay of Algeciras on whale watching excursions.
The Port of Algeciras is the port and harbour of Algeciras, city in the province of Cádiz, in the autonomous community of Andalusia.
It is the fifth-largest container port in Europe, handling 3.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) worth of cargo in 2007.
In addition to containers, port operations include bunker fuel handling, cruise shipping, Roll-on/roll-off and facilities for a fishing fleet.
In 2006 the Port of Algeciras handled 65 million MT in trade, an increase of 5 million MT over 2005.
If you sail in Maersk, then you will visit this city one day.

But you cant say Algeciras without saying Los Lagos… Loas Lagos is the name of an ”hotel”, were you only stays for a few hours… Why, you might ask? – Hookers… Earlier this was visited by almost all sailors, but even at this day, they are well visited…
When visiting Algeciras go to visit Gibraltar as well. Best place… Ever…
