Katy and I had to change our plans when our ferry to Morocco was cancelled. Instead, we spent a day exploring Gibraltar, a quick drive from Algeciras.

We arrived in Malaga late from Lisbon and stayed at Hotel Zen Airport for its proximity to the airport. The highlight of our trip was hiking the Caminito del Rey, a once-dangerous trail now restored for safety.

Our journey then continued to Algeciras, with plans to visit Gibraltar, which will be covered in a separate post.
