Gibraltar It is one of those places that are located in a spectacular way in an impressive landscape. Between Spain and Africa, territorially it has belonged to Great Britain since the year 1713 and although at that time, and later, there were several wars and very "bad rolls", the truth is that it is currently a super quiet place for you to go visit or to live. On the map you can locate it at the lowest point of the Peninsula and that extends over the famous Rock of Gibraltar.
Without a doubt, Gibraltar is a place you will fall in love with as soon as you set foot on it. There are a lot of boats that arrive at your port every day, in addition to that your airport has a lot of connections with various cities, especially with Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester and London. There you can speak both English and Spanish anywhere, and remember that you must change currency and get pounds as it is British territory. To enter Gibraltar you will only need your ID.
As for the places of interest in Gibraltar, it is clear that the first thing you should go to see is the Rock, raised at 426 meters above sea level and which you can only access by cable car. A whole experience both the route and the Rock itself as it is not only beautiful but the views you have from there are spectacular, having on the one hand European territory and on the other African. Throughout the city there are architectural buildings of great interest, such as the Arab Castle, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity or the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Europe, which was also a mecca before a Christian temple.
Finally, another very interesting place that you can find in Gibraltar are the Tunnels of the Great Siege, which were formerly used to transport heavy weapons to defend themselves against the French and Spanish invaders who wanted to take the Rock and the city.
