Gibraltar Travel
A British Overseas Territory on the southern tip of Spain, Gibraltar is a strategic gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Despite being only 6.7 square kilometers in size, it holds immense geopolitical and historical significance. For centuries, it has stood as a sentinel guarding the Strait of Gibraltar, a narrow waterway that separates Europe from Africa and connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The Rock itself rises dramatically from the sea, its limestone cliffs concealing both natural wonders and secret wartime tunnels.
Gibraltar’s story stretches back to antiquity. The ancient Greeks believed the Rock to be one of the mythical Pillars of Hercules, marking the edge of the known world. Later, it became a Moorish stronghold during Islamic rule in the Iberian Peninsula, before falling under Spanish and eventually British control. Today, the territory reflects a fascinating mix of influences: Spanish architecture, British pubs, Moorish ruins, World War tunnels, and Mediterranean flair coexist seamlessly.
