Gibraltar is a tiny British territory located on the southern tip of Spain just 14 km north of Morocco.
It is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar and is commonly known as, The Rock.

We took a drive down from Marbella Spain to see this iconic landmark and to enjoy a little slice of Britain in the far south of Europe. We started with a Gibraltar Street walk from Spain to cross the border into the British territory of Gibraltar.

Our first stop was the top of the rock observation deck that offered stunning panoramic views of Gibraltar. We not only saw Gibraltar, but we saw across straight of Gibraltar to Morocco in Africa and Spain’s Costa del Sol. It is truly spectacular. But the star attraction is definitely the rock of Gibraltar itself.

One of the star attractions of Gibraltar is the Ape’s Den where you’ll find a group of monkeys who have decided to call this place home at the cable car’s mid-station. But the Gibraltar monkeys are everywhere. Legend has it that as long as the macaques inhabit Gibraltar, the British will remain.

The monkeys were so important to the British, that they were placed under the armies protection and Winston Churchill even ordered more monkeys from Morocco when their numbers were on the decline. They can be very feisty though so make sure to keep your distance.

The Skywalk is a glass walking dangling 340 meters above sea level. It offers panoramic views of three countries and two continents and is said to be able to withstand the weight of 5 asian elephants.

It’s an amazing hike through the rock of Gibraltar and we followed the rocky trails from one attraction to another. Gibraltar was heavily fortified and there are plenty of ruins, guard stations and old lookouts to explore.

Been to Gibraltar, interesting place. Brilliant for nature and beaches. As a British person I found it reflected an old fashioned notion of Britishness. What was a surprise was the cosmopolitan feel of British, Spanish and Moroccan culture

Thank you for the video

Do all the attractions close at the same time?

Also where does one park?

Looking for combined ticket for the park and the cable car. Where did you get it from ?

Thank you for all this information! We are flying into Malaga in about 6 weeks, and I really want to make sure we include a day in Gibraltar before heading to Cadiz and Seville. Especially appreciate the hotel information. You sounded very comfortable with that choice and location. I had read some warnings about La Linea in terms of safety, but we will go with your suggestion.

I went to your link for pre-purchase of tickets and it says I have to convert voucher to tickets when I get there. So, does it really save any time to purchase ahead?

Lovely video. Did you see any Neandertals? Our human cousins?
