Gibraltar

Welcome to Gibraltar | Bienvenido a Gibraltar (English | Spanish/Llanito)

Why visit

Gibraltar is a compact British territory for the Rock, tunnels, sea views, border movement, caves, and a strange mix of Mediterranean and UK habits. It works when the Spain route wants a geopolitical side trip.

When to avoid

Crossing the land border can take 1 to 3 hours in summer or with political tensions, leave time. Don't feed the macaques (they bite, and it's a fineable offense). Pickpocketing on the Spanish side around La Línea has increased. Cruise-ship days fill Main Street. Arrive early. Don't try to drive across, park in La Línea and walk.
