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.
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?
According to this site it should cost a bit, but it's probably your best option.
Walking should be 20 min driving like 5
i got quoted 120 euro and that site hasnt been updated in 5 years
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.
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.
Hes probably referring to the actual walk
YMMV on the border. We spent <1 minute driving through.
True, but I believe you were the exception not the rule.
are there Visa/entrance fees at all when entering GiB from Spain?
