Rock of Gibraltar

The rock of Gibraltar is indeed something very, very special. Just the thought of all sailors that for thousands of years that have shared this grand view is breathtaking. Lord Nelson, Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama are just a few that have passed this mighty rock.
The view from the top of the Rock is just as breathtaking as its history. If possible — wait for clear skies before going to the top. It is worth it. Clear days it is possible to see far along the Spanish coast and across the sea to Africa.
And — beware of the apes. No kidding. Already when docking at the top they may enter the cabin in search for food. According to the guards they are calmer and nicer in the morning than in the hot afternoon.

Amazing! More info coming soon :))

Truly amazing sigiht! Be prepared for a long wait while in line for the border from La Linea in Spain. After a period, we decided to park in a carpark in La Linea right by the border. The walk across only took 15 minutes. Once in Gibraltar, walk down the main street to visit the shops, and you will end in the town square, also where the cable car to the top stands. You can either walk up to the top, or take the cable car. Once at the top, be prepared for the curious local monkeys to interact with you at every turn! Just keep any belongings and plastic bags close by, as they do like to snatch and jump on you, out of curiousity. At the top, you can see Gibraltar proper, Spain, and a bit of Africa. What a great place to visit!

I didn’t expect discovering Rock of Gibraltar is owned by the British Peeps! Who knew? I surely didn’t know this fact. .. I was also surprised learning that Spain wants the Rock returned to them, too. Visiting here was astonishing because Spain is right outside, but peeps living on the Rock-​everyone uses British currency. Everyone in McDonald’s spoke with a British accent!
