Gibraltar is not a part of Spain, as many people may think. It is british, and wants to be british. Gibraltar is living and you see a lots of prams. But what will you do on a rock? Just a joke. :)
Here you can see a lots of different nationalities and many Jewish business people give the rock s.th. professional. Between the many tourists you notice always good dressed men with cases, on the way to the bank.
And the uniformed english schoolgirls and schoolboys, who don´t live with the senseless pressure to wear good looking designer clothes, are looking quite happy.

The rock is something special. And when from the south the wind is blowing, then you can see a crowd over Gibraltar, and the residents have a little feeling from the weather in London. And only some metres behind the frontier the sun shines.

Flora and fauna on the monkey´s rock are as well worthwhile than "The Monkey´s Den" itself.

Worthwhile is also the cathedrale St. Michels Cave, the historical important tunnels in the rock (30 miles/ The Great Siege 1779-1783), The Military Heritage Centre, and the Tower of Homage, part of the Moorish Castle, also the Museum of Gibraltar.

Our tip: Don´t drive with your car through the frontier. This can be a bad idea. During the summer months you must wait sometimes 3 hours in your car before you can drive through the frontier. On foot it takes only some minutes to pass the frontier.

Use a bus to drive to the centre of Gibraltar. Beside the new busses is still an old bus, with the typical charme of the good old times. You can have the possibility to get a short impression of the land and the people staying here, during the short drive with the bus.

By the way, if the bus is waiting a longer time on the road and nothing goes on it is possible that the traffic light on the airport is red. Then all cars and pedestrians must wait until the plane rolles across the road. You see, all is exactly regulated.
