Locations
The action takes place mostly in the area around La Línea, Gibraltar, and Algeciras in Andalucía, Southern Spain, and in the Strait that separates the Spanish mainland from Morocco. Marc's bar is opposite the entrance to the marketplace in La Línea, the frontier town with Gibraltar. Other scenes feature Algeciras port and the Gibraltar border and airport. It is the mid-1980s, after the Spanish transition to democracy and before the sophistication of the drugs trade across the Strait became more complex.
