Rock On
Approaching Gibraltar from Seville, the first signpost you encounter indicating that the Rock even exists is just 10 km from the border, even though the first view you get of this, the European "Pillar of Hercules", is from nearly 30 km away. An indication that the sovereignty of Gibraltar is still a thorn in the side of Anglo-Spanish relations. It's been this way since soon after 1703 when Spain ceded Gibraltar to England “in ...
