Gibraltar

Gibraltar, a fascinating holiday combination of the exotic and the familiar, Gibraltar is a sun-drenched former colonial outpost where the best of British and Spanish influences rub shoulders.

Here, the exotic port of Tangiers and northern Africa beckon just 12 kilometres away across the famous Strait. Gibratar, part Britain, part Spain, this enchanting holiday destination has a fascinating historical legacy. On this peninsula dominated by the huge limestone rock, you'll find red telephone boxes and British pubs, all basking in the warm Spanish sunshine.

The Rock itself defines the landscape, populated by the famous "and bold" Barbary apes. Explore the Rock and its tunnels and caves, wander around the Botanical Gardens, or pay a visit to Catalan Bay to sample the seafood.
