Gibraltar

Where Europe meets Africa and the Mediterranean converges into the Atlantic, Gibraltar occupies the most strategic location in the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula. For the tourist, its intriguing rock caves, stunning sand beaches and duty free shopping are the major perks.

Also well known as the 'Rock', Gibraltar offers an amazing number of 143 caves to explore, miles of tunnels, limestone monoliths, and world class beaches like Catalan Bay, Eastern Beach, Sandy Bay, Little Bay and Camp Bay.

On a visit, be sure to browse the Gibraltar Museum, especially for its ornaments,  weapons, and medals excavated from the caves. The replica of the Gibraltar Skull, the neolithic St Michael’s Cave and the military installation of Upper Rock are not to be missed. Also, explore the nature preserve to catch sight of the famous Barbary macaques. Besides, the Strait of Gibraltar is a major crossing point for birds migrating from Europe and Africa, where you can behold fantastic sights of Black Vultures, Greater Flamingo, Red Kite, Spanish and Rock Sparrow year round.

Gibraltar’s markets are irresistible for shoppers! You can take home tons of duty free goods like porcelain, perfumes, electronic  equipment and watches. Don't forget to pick up a unique souvenir from the Gibraltar Crystal Factory.
