About
Gibraltar, famously known as “The Rock,” is a small yet remarkable British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of Spain where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Dominated by its towering limestone cliff, Gibraltar is a place where history, culture, and nature seamlessly come together. Visitors can ride the cable car to the summit for panoramic views stretching to Africa, explore the fascinating St. Michael’s Cave and Great Siege Tunnels, or encounter the mischievous Barbary macaques, Europe’s only wild monkeys. The lively town below blends British and Mediterranean influences, with red phone boxes, duty-free shopping, tapas bars, and charming squares. With its unique mix of wildlife, history, and stunning scenery, Gibraltar offers an experience far bigger than its size might suggest.
