Gibraltar (UK) in general Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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.

We ...  Read the complete review

Gibraltar is a British colony bordering the very south-west corner of Spain. Despite being at the very South of the European continent in a far more sunny climate than England, Gibraltar is suprisingly British. Some Geographical Information ***************************** I've never been that interested in geography, and until ...  Read the complete review

There is a corner of a foreign country that is forever England (with apologies!) Gibraltar, situated at the Southern tip of Spain is a tiny but charming colony that I was lucky enough to visit this summer. I would certainly recommend it to those who are already in the area although in my opinion it is worth a visit in its own right. ...  Read the complete review

After holidaying in Spain, and visiting Gibraltar one day, I decided on writing an op on this wonderful place! First of all, I'll give you a brief history on the Country. (The history I obtained from www.gibraltar.gi/history). Gibraltar comes from the name 'Tarik', the leader of the Arabic army that invaded Spain in the 8th ...  Read the complete review

The most fascinating place I have been to yet. Gibraltar is situated at the southern most tip of Spain. It has been of significance to the UK since the beginning of the 18th Century due to it "Guarding" the entrance to the Mediterranean sea and hence there still is a British military presence. Gibraltar itself is constantly ...  Read the complete review

Picturesque ,historic and suprisingly interesting is this british peninsula deep in history. This is a fascinating place whose beauty is breathtaking and culture beckoning, the famous rock itself looms powerfully afront the town as if guarding its contents, the walk from Spain across the small customs area past the airport runway then ...  Read the complete review

My last visit was last year and I thoroughly recommend it even if it is just to see how it 'works'. Just come back from southern Spain in August and didn't have a visit this time, but if I had read some of these opinions on dooyoo I would have done as I didn't know about the dolphins. So there you are -dooyoo works. I ...  Read the complete review

Gibralter is a wonderful place for a short visit, the the runway for aircraft is terrifing as it is built across a very narrow strip of reclaimed land with the sea at each end, & the road between Spain & Gib crosses this runway. The locals most of whom are ex pats are fiercely British & proud of it. The sights are generally ...  Read the complete review

Gibraltar is an ideal location for a shoert break. You could see all the sights in one day but it would be a rush. Two days would be fine but three would allow time for shopping and relaxing. My priorities would be the summit ideally reached by cable car. However you need a head for heights and try to avoid coinciding with the arrival of ...  Read the complete review

A little piece of England in the Mediterranean, well worth a visit for a day or two. Shopping is based around duty free products, but some can be overpriced for tourists. Advice here is to get a tan and use local currency (available from the local Natwest!). Don't shop with credit cards or travellers cheques and alway barter particularly for ...  Read the complete review

Gibraltar is well worth a visit at any time of year, this small principality at the southern most tip of Spain would be a great place for a short break. One of the best things about Gibraltar is the shopping, everything is duty free, so alcohol, perfume and cigarettes are an absolute bargain, and there is even a branch of Marks and Spencers. ...  Read the complete review
