		The British and the Spaniards were having a prolonged squabble over who owned Gibraltar and the year before the Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco had tried to seize the Rock by laying siege to it.
		In Algeciras, however, the local authorities took the opposite view, and wouldn't let me on the ferry without an inoculation certificate that was at least two weeks old, since it took two weeks for the vaccine to incubate.

	Puerta del Sol Blog: Reflections on Life in Spain and Spanish Culture: Máximo Nicoletti
		An obscure military operation which could, the film claims, have altered the course of the Falklands conflict (the Malvinas War in Hispanic parlance), is the focus of Jesus Mora's Operacion Algeciras, an absorbing, deftly-told tale which succeeds mostly by virtue of the wit and charm of its main narrator.
		Though there are moments of obvious padding in a yarn which is in reality little more than a minor footnote, the script weaves plenty of intrigue and dark humor from the material.
		When interrogated as to why they were leaving Argentina - literally the only people to know about the operation were Anaya and the saboteurs - they claimed they were going on a photography trip, and the fact that they had no cameras with them didn't prevent their exit.
