On this photo she was at Algeciras, and by her aft was the General Sanjurjo.       On 1927 two sister ships were built by Unión Naval de Levante, at Valencia. They were the Miguel Primo de Rivera and General Sanjurjo. They were renamed Ciudad de Algeciras y Ciudad de Ceuta when Spain became a republic.
      On 1976 the Ciudad de Algeciras was sold to the Asociación Asturiana de Capitanes de la Marina Mercante and berthed at Dársena de Fomento, at Gijón. Afterwards she was bar and discothèque, until being finally scrapped.
      The Ciudad de Ceuta was sold on 1976 to the Asociación Vizcaina de Capitanes de la Marina Mercante, being renamed Consulado de Bilbao and berthed at Uribitarte pier, at Bilbao. She had a sad end because on 23/August/1983, due to floodings produced by heavy rain, broke free and was dragged by the river and sunk.
