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 Morocco really impressed me, but the deepest impression came from the apes - so cute and human-like! Why couldn't I just grab one with me back home??Anyway, really worth visiting, and if you go, choose...

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. NOTE: beware of the barbary apes. they will take your hat and purse. they belong to gibraltar, they have their daily shots and vaccines. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the Strait of Gib...

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 both agreed we did.  He started by telling us about Admiral Nelson and how he won Gibraltar back for the English and how he washed up on shore picked in a barrel of whiskey. On the island, ther...

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 tiny British sovereignty and it was raining already! First it was light rain, and as we went up the Rock in a tour cab on a two lane two-way street, it was pouring hard! The visibility seemed l...

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 Spainish really don't like the British for taking it off their hands a number of years ago. However, this little rock is full of fascinating history. It is riddled with tunnels and caves. Monkeys roam fre...

A cruise thru the western Mediterranean. Spain, France, Italy, and Gibraltar

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

OK, it's not one of your dream beaches in this part of the Mediterranean, and I swear even in the thick of summer the waters are freezing, the cool breeze from Catalan Bay or the Strait of Gibraltar (not sure which one now) not helping any. The only other beach (that I know of) in Gibraltar is Caleta Beach (or is it Catalan Bay Beach?) smack downstairs from  my official residence, Caleta Hotel, but The Rock looms over-protectively behind the coastline, unfortunately casting its unwanted ...

This trip marks four firsts for me: first time to transit (and on my way back, stay) in London; first time in Gibraltar, the famed British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula and shares a border with Spain to the north; first time in Iberia; and first time at the frontier between Europe and Africa. Across the Strait of Gibraltar I could almost glimpse the port city of Tangier in Morocco in North Africa, and on both sides...

Pics and comments for my Travel Review: If you are comming to Andalucía

A chronicle of the 3-4 months I spent travelling around Western Europe over the summer of 2004. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the experience of it.

A small part in the South of the Iberian Peninsula belongs to UK - Gibraltar. It's a very small country - about 6.5 square kilometres but with 29000 habitants it's very densely populated. In Gibraltar you find the Rock of Gibraltar that takes up a great part of the country.

Daily life in La Linea and Gibraltar. Spanish culture and traditions seen through my eyes.

Casey and I went down to Gibraltar to hang out for the day. The monkeys were hilarious.
