Does Gibraltar Rock! No, I don't think so!   I had no expectations when I went down here; I just wanted to visit it and to see the huge rock and having been close to Gibraltar a couple of times made me curious. What was going on there? On my way down there I was reflecting a bit; what did I…

Been there once before, but it totally blew me away again! So beautiful and cozy...Went there with our whole class, and went for a minibus-tour with a local guide - Jerry, our guide, was the best guide ever; so humorous and spontanious. I saw a lot of "new" things and had a blast!! The sight of Mor…

How much do you know about the Rock of Gibraltar?  Before today I knew nothing about Gibraltar, except that it’s in southern Spain (which I learned just before coming).  Then I found out that I was even wrong about that.  Though it’s positioned on the southern coast of Spain, at …

This was a fun city. took the best tour. a taxi tour to the top of the rock, pillars of hercules, st. michael's caverns, seize tunnels, and the barbary apes. all for 25 euro. best euro spent. i ate good steak and kidney pie.

Today we took the short walk from Linea de la Concepcion (Spain) to Gibraltar (English Territory).  We started to wander the small sleepy isle when we met Lionel, a stocky English fellow who spoke perfect Spanish with a Spaniard’s accent.  He asked if we needed a tour guide and we bot…

Fancy coming to Gibraltar for the first time via London for a three-week business assignment -- capped with no less than an extended Chinese New Year weekend in London, also my first time in England (entirely another story), on the way back. Talk about perfect travel planning! For starters, Gibralt…

After Seville, we had a half day visit on the British sovereignty, Gibraltar, where we went up the Rock, played with the Barbary apes, went into a cave to check out the stalactite/stalagmite formations, and eat fish & chips! We were welcomed to Gibraltar with rain. It was only 15 minutes into …

This day trip to Gibraltar was a warm welcome after 3 continuous nights of day break partying. We'd done not much else other than party, sleep and make it to the beach a few hours before sunset. So we were on a mission to see something. Gibraltar is not signed posted at all because the Spaini…

As we passed through the Strait of Gibraltar the Atlantic rushed to meet us. A little over enthusiastic I would say, it was a little rough.Below are some pictures that I took while on the Mediterranean

A long time since I had been to Gibraltar, 18 years in fact, and it had changed quite a bit. Though the border crossing hadn't, Crossed the border from La Linea by foot, and still really cool that you have to walk ( or drive) across the runway to get into the centre of Gibraltar. Buses were w…

We took the bus from Algeciras to Gibraltar early in the morning.  It was a beautiful day so we packed our bathers in case we had an opportunity to swim.    A couple of seats ahead of me on the bus a young mother traveled with her small son.  They chatted to each other in Spanis…
