| Sumario: | In the 70s and 80s, there was an exodus of Maghreb labor to some countries of the European Union (France, Germany, Holland, among others), which launched the migratory movement called Paso del Estrecho. This is the transfer made during the summer of members of this active population to their country of origin for family purposes. This caused the collapse of passengers in Spanish ports, especially those in the Strait of Gibraltar. The Spanish Government has therefore decided to organize and plan this transit of people, known as Operation Paso del Estrecho (OPE). More than two and a half million passengers and vehicles travel across Europe to Spain to visit Africa. The ports of Algeciras Bay (Algeciras and Tarifa) account for 75% of migration flows. In the municipality of Tarifa (population around 18,000), whose characteristics are characterized by a historical geostrategic point, there is an exponential increase in the population during the months of the OPE. This fact implies that the study of the case of this municipality considers, because of the insufficiencies of infrastructures at its disposal.
