2021 marks the fortieth anniversary since secegsa and sned embarked on a joint effort between Spain and Morocco to explore the feasibility of establishing a Fixed Link between Europe and Africa through the Strait of Gibraltar. To gain a comprehensive understanding of this project, it is crucial to delve into its historical background, the legal and political framework, and the studies conducted on the physical environment of the Strait, as well as the potential engineering solutions and their socio-economic feasibility. However, it is also essential not to overlook the Project’s geostrategic nature and its financing sources in the global arena, as they will determine how it is inevitably implemented in the twenty-first century.
