Gibraltar People & Culture

Nice place..:) For Polish interested in history- place of Sikorski's catastrophy. Exciting, because you are almost in Africa;) ... Some people do shopping- obvious;) And cute monkeys!! But watch out, they can bite you :p

if you love hiking, don't take a taxi or book a tour to go around gibraltar mountain. starting at the entrance of the nature reserve, there are 2 signed walking paths.one , somewhat called like the mediteranien steps, takes you along the cliffs to the top of the mountain.you have a wonderful view over the ocean and the scenerie. As there aren't many hikers (most of the people take a taxi), it is very peaceful. there are seagulls, butterflys, all kind of different plants and flowers to admire.however don't do it if you have vertigo. On the top it can be very,very windy.

Gibraltar is a British colony between Spain and Africa where people go to get duty free jewelry, alcohol and for the nightlife. There is the most amazing cave, where they hosted a concert for the Queen, that has evidence of the first human habitation on the European continent... do the tour! Ladies watch out for the Spanish guys, they don't have much respect for English speaking women... they think maybe you are one of the many randy English female tourists who chase everything in pants and return to Britain as born again virgins, so they will treat you as such until they get to know you. Spanish women are treated with much more courtesy and respect, so they do know how to behave. This area has a massive amount of drug trade between Spain and Africa... plenty of needles wash up on the beach every day, so wear shoes and I suggest not to go into La Linea (on a beach horse-ride I was told they may shoot if we got too close).

gibaltar was a lot of fun. we caught it in between intense travel days so i mostly remember enjoying the square and relaxing with a bulmers. there was plenty of music in the square. enjoy the ocean breeze, fresh sea food and beachy atmosphere. a word of advice though: be very careful about the payala you eat. of friend of mine had some and missed out completely on gilbaltar and instead spent the entire day puking. one really neat thing to do is go up the rock in a bouncy jeep to see the monkeys. i got to feed one. they really are quite cute. but just be careful. they are wild animals even if all evidence is to the contrary. another mate of mine got bit, through a blue jean jacket and had to get several nasty shots and was sick for at least a week after. i guess my over all theme for this tip is take care when traveling, nothing ruins a trip more than getting sick.

There's only one hotel in the whole "city", and it has 4 or 5 stars - so you'd better just sleep somewhere else and visit Gibraltar for one day.

it is a weird little pocket of great britian on the edge of spain. the monkeys are funny but a bit touristy

Watch out fot the monkeys- they will steal your food!

Watch out for the Monkeys!!!

When in Gibraltar you HAVE to go UP to the rock and into it to see all the beauty. Outside there are monkeys though so watch out! The less good (for me) is that they have pound (and Euro) and its more expensive than Spain in my opinion. Fun fact: Gibraltar has pound and belongs to Great Britain. But the gibraltarians can NOT pay with their money in Great Britain. However this is not a problem for those who live in Great Britain and goes to Gibraltar. Their money wors just fine!
