Most people I know who've gone have stayed at a hotel for shabbos (all shuls are within a 15 minute walk of all hotels, most are 5 min or less), and get hosted for meals. Were you looking to stay with someone for shabbos or just eat there?

Eat and sleep.

[Yehoshua]

Eat and sleep.

Hmmm, I may be able to help you with eating, but the people we at with didn't offer sleeping accommodations. They recommended the Elliot Hotel which is a 1 minute walk from their house.

How long does it take from getting dropped off by a taxi by the border of GIB till I will be in the Jewish community?

Walking should be 20 min driving like 5

[Emkay]

According to this site it should cost a bit, but it's probably your best option.

i got quoted 120 euro and that site hasnt been updated in 5 years

Huh? Are you saying the  line to get in walking should be 4x longer than driving? At least when I drove in there was a 20-30 minute wait whereas I didn't see any line for pedestrians.

That sounds like a good deal based on that site though. Does that include tolls on the AP-7 or only the toll-free A7 route? We had some time so we took the A7 and it was a great drive. It didn't have any traffic and only took a few minutes longer than the AP-7.

Not sure. I would have to call back. Its a Jewish guy that lives in malaga

Hes probably referring to the actual walk

That makes more sense. 

[@Yehuda]

YMMV on the border. We spent <1 minute driving through.

True, but I believe you were the exception not the rule.

I didn't either encounter any traffic.
