Gibraltar
This is a top pick! Well we were not sure what to expect of Gibralter. Just as well really as it's a strange mix of a large port and an old council estate ! For those who aren't sure what we mean by council estate, its a housing area where no-one owns property (its all ...

In search of the crowds
This is a top pick! ... another from over the ocean. The Spanish culture seems to have been gradually consumed. Somewhere back in the distant past I decided that Gibraltar was on my to-do-list but to be honest I'm not sure what specifically caused this to occur. Perhaps it ...
On Top of the Rock
... during the war got so rough the entire civilian population was evacuated and didn´t return until 1951 I believe it was. Gibraltar is definitely an interesting slice of the UK down here. Even getting to Gibraltar is a three hour bus ...

Gibraltarin herttaiset apinat
... olisi vähän hassua jättää paikka väliin. Loppujen lopuksi yllätyimme positiivisesti, sillä Gibraltar osoittautui aivan ainutlaatuiseksi ja hyvinkin mielenkiintoiseksi kohteeksi. Ajelimme rantatietä kohti kaukaisuudessa häämöttävää ...
Yeah, went to the UK today.
... amazing. We’ve had many jokes about how we’d love to have them arrest us. Well, anyway, back in Gibraltar – aka English territory – this was not true. Back to ugly cops. And now back to your regularly scheduled ...
Sem planear, mas demos um salto a Gibraltar
Gibraltar... Iamos a passar por perto e vimos aquele rochedo enorme a erguer-se do Mediterraneo... Fomos la dar uma olhada a Terras inglesas. Deu-se uma volta pela zona, quando de repente se deu com um macaquinho muito simpático e "comilão"... ...
Hiking up the rock of Gibraltar
This is a top pick! We flew through the border into Gibraltar as darkness descended on us. We had to drive across the airstrip in no man's land which was weird and then we hit chaos. We had never seen so many scooters and cars in such a small area. Trying to find ...
Our trip commences!!

Lights of Africa
After 2 energetic days we had earned a lazy sea day as the ship sailed to Barcelona. First though was the Straits of Gibraltar, the busiest shipping lane in the world and also meant a peak at the African continent. The only problem was we were sailing ...

They're monkeys, not apes
... they have little room to talk, as they have the same situation across the straits in Ceuta, which is on Mainland Morocco. Gibraltar is a bustling city of British expats, lifelong Gibraltarans, and hordes of tourists. It's really one big expensive ...
Gibraltar a rocking place !!!
... Cave, although a tourist attraction and expensive gave me time to use the time lapse facilities on my camera. Night time Gibraltar is lively and great fun, with many bars and restobars to explore, whilst a little costly. I recommend spending time ...
Monkey Madness

Gibraltar
... The town has been extended (on reclaimed land) beyond the sea walls, where new shopping areas and hotels are being developed. Gibraltar's walls are enormous-which were necessary because of the sea and the military sieges it has endured-and rise much like ...
