The Rock
Gibraltar, the peninsula famous for its Rock and the Gibraltar Strait, is a Mediterranean paradise for shoppers, foodies and sunseekers. Its original city walls, protected by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, date back to the 1800s and the eclectic blend of architecture add to its appeal. We give you ten reasons why you should head to this southern tip of Spain – pronto.
Towering high above the surrounding landscape, the Rock of Gibraltar marks the narrow Strait of Gibraltar which separates Europe from Africa and is the only link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. During the Great Siege of 1789, labyrinthine tunnels were dug to position anti–enemy guns. Rock tours also stop at Europa Point, Europe’s southernmost tip. Win a trip to Gibraltar
