Your flight to Gibraltar takes you to The Rock at the southernmost tip of Europe that has been a UK dependency since the 18th century. Explore the passages of St Michael’s Cave and meet the inquisitive Barbary apes at the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
Step back in time at the 8th-century Moorish Castle and discover its Tower of Homage, Gate House and battlements. Mix with the locals in the bars and hot spots of Queensway Quay, Marina Bay and Casemates Square in Gibraltar.
For a quiet retreat, picnic in the subtropical Alameda Botanical Gardens or relax on one of Gibraltar’s five beaches. Or opt for sailing and charter a boat from Gibraltar’s marinas.
Gibraltarian cuisine is very cosmopolitan being influenced by Moroccan and Spanish recipes. The locals of Gibraltar love their calentita (chickpea “quiche”) and spinach tortilla. Wash it all down with a pint in one of the traditional British-style pubs. |
