Gibraltar (UK) in general

Gibraltar is in Spain but belongs to the UK and there have been many issues with all this in the past. I have made a few trips over to this great and fantastic country and have always found other things to try out and places to explore. The first thing I have to point out is the amazing view from the air when you are coming into land. The second thing is that you land on a high street - this is not a joke - they shut off the high street and you land. This is quite a sight when you get off the plane and you can watch other planes coming in, but for people not to keen on flying I would say think before you leap. Gibraltar is not a very hard place to navigate ...  Read the complete review

Gibraltar is one of my favourite holiday destinations and I have been going there almost every year since I was a toddler. I even lived out there for a couple of months when I was about 7 and I plan to move out there in the future and spend a few months working. My uncle married a Gibraltarian woman which is the main reason that we go out there so much to see her family but, even if I didn't have family out there, I would still have regular holidays there. ~ Things to do ~ Although just a small country, there is so much to see and do in Gibraltar. The main attraction is obviously the rock which gives you amazing views over the rest of the country ...  Read the complete review

Gibraltar is located on the edge of Spain yet belongs to the UK. The main focus is the rock. Gibraltar is quite a hit with all it's history & uniqiness. At the bottom of the rock you have the high street which contains BHS, M&S, Mothercare, Lego Shop, Burger King, Sainsburys Or Somerfeild & many other shops. (Well it had these 3 years ago) And I do believe it has a tesco, that doesn't surprise me though. It also has apartments, houses and your average UK pubs. Gibraltar has a botanical garden which has so many different flowers and is lovely to have a stroll around. As you go further up the rock (by foot, cable car, ...  Read the complete review

To celebrate my semi-retirement/sabbatical, last December, my girlfriend and I decided to go somewhere different for a long weekend. It needed to be in Europe, and preferably accessible with our few remaining Airmiles (i.e. almost free to get to) What could be more different than Gibraltar? This unusual peninsular with it's mountainous rock jutting out into the Mediterranean towards Africa is quite stunning but also has an interesting and quite violent history, and a rather obscure mixture of British, Spanish and Moroccan culture and cuisine and of course those monkeys. Gibraltar is a highly controversial place and has been a British territory since 1704 much ...  Read the complete review

Our recent holiday to The Algarve , Portugal saw us taking a coach excursion to Gibraltar . Gibraltar is a promontory that juts out of the coastline of Spain. It belongs to Great Britain and it's citizens all hold British passports. We had a great visit but if you are considering the same sort of day trip be warned it was a lengthy journey . We were picked up at 5.45am and did not arrive back in Albuefeira until 10.30pm having had 5 hours in Gibraltar .We could have flown home and back a couple of times in the time it took. Still we had a great day but obviously it is tiring and not for everyone . The coach booking cost 32 Euros each but many of our companions had ...  Read the complete review
