Whilst many cruisers rush off to Morrisons supermarket or the very British High Street which claims to be cheap, there are many tours. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It has an area of 6.7 km² (2.6 sq mi) and it borders Spain, so those beaches are an option. Sotogrande is not far.

If you go for a stroll, it is very familiar, very British. What might have you transfixed for a while, is the glass blowing which is well worth a visit. It is on the left as you walk into the square.  Take a look at our walk of the local town film.

The Rock is another adventure and that is another film. That needs thought and planning, or a tour or a taxi. Real hikers might try it by foot; we did. We also have an interview with Robert Daws, who you will recognise from Casualty and The Royal, who writes a crime series set on The Rock. (click picture for book)

If you are using Gibraltar to go into Spain, then take a look at our videos which cover the coast from here to Malaga. They include Sotogrande, Estepona, Duquesa, Marbella, Mijas, Malaga.
