Inside GIBRALTAR: Strange British Territory in Spain🇬🇧🇪🇸

Johnny Harris geography: I traveled to Gibraltrar, in search of Bald and Bankrupt..Gibraltar is a British overseas territory in the Iberian Peninsula that borders Spain. Its geopolitical past and present and position as one of the world's richest places is what makes it unique place worth visiting. The people don't identify as British nor Spanish, they identify as Gibraltarian.. So that begs the question.. How similar to Great Britian is it? Brexit has also been an ongoing issue the last few years. Sir George Rooke captured Gibraltar for the British during the War of the Spanish Succession, and Spain formally ceded it to Britain in 1713 with the signing of the Treaty of Ultrecht. Join me on an adventure as I show you Gibaltar.

Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 Youtube videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

Thanks for watching! If you want to see a video of another fascinating place nearby, check out my video on Ceuta, the Spanish Enclave that borders Morocco!

As a local from Gibraltar i have never seen such a fantastic informative video, people usually have no clue what they are saying but you've really shown what a day in the life would look like

I was born in the UK and have lived in Gibraltar for 41 years now since the age of 14.
I have seen many many vlogs but this one takes the biscuit.
Great work. Informative, accurate and entertaining.
So glad you liked Gibraltar. Please come again during the summer and get those views you sadly missed.

It's good that you're vlogging new content once again. Very nice video tour of Gibraltar. It's the best I've seen. And the info you shared on geography, history, GDP, tax haven, etc. is priceless. Well done Elliot!

I live in Gibraltar and must say your video is well balanced and informative. Glad you enjoyed your full English breakfast 😊

Gibraltarians are British citizens and happy to be so and have had their own government since 2006.

Appreciate the phone call Elliot, Gibraltar looks like a very interesting place indeed. Thanks for showing us around.

As a Brit from the mainland it’s nice to see Gibraltarians proud to be British. In countries like America and France you will see their national flag hoisted everywhere, but in the U.K, apart from government buildings, you hardly see it, because its perceived by some as offensive and racist. This is not right, and we should hoist the Union Jack wherever we want, and feel proud of our nation. 🇬🇧 🇬🇮

Great informative video including tales not many people know about such the invasion of pirates! Nice one! We're glad you enjoyed your visit.

I served in the ROYAL NAVY in Gibraltar 1971 to 74, I lived uptown with the locals and my one bedroom flat, one bedroom one bathroom a kitchen and sitting room with balcony was £3 uk pounds a week, I checked it today and it has been tidied up a bit and is now available at £500k lol

[oliversherman]

As a Brit who's been living in southern Spain since last year, I've visited Gibraltar many times. It's a fascinating place with very friendly, pro-British people 🇬🇧🇬🇮

Love seeing your video editing skills get better and better! Keep up the work Elliot

[CosmicPanda]

Bless you! Your enthusiasm for all things Brit is infectious! 🇬🇮🇬🇧❤

[synchronicitytime]

I love this guy's commentary and observations. Thanks. ❤

Lovely video, but sorry. One major correction. Gib is a British Overseas territory. It is British, but self governing. Relying on Britain for defence and foreign policy. It is NOT a colony. It is similar in status to the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Turks & Caicos, Falklands etc, etc.

Yes the Spaniards resent it, but they have (you mentioned one in the video) two enclaves in North Africa. Ceuta, and also Melilla.

But spot on. Gib is a great place!

I knew you would make it, I first subscribed to your channel when you uploaded the filomena video in madrid and you had 1k followers. I wish you the best from here on is all success 💪🏻

[joannetattersall]
