Two years ago we visited Gibraltar and it seemed important to us to visit the Rock. You can walk up, but only certified drivers can take the narrow roads. Honestly, walking up is not the way to go. We hired a driver and, as he had grown up in Gibraltar, he showed the tunnels and caves that riddle the Rock. The photo above shows a theater in one large cave, The lighting changes and in this case is blue. Huge.
The Rock has been a fortress for years. Many of the tunnels date back to the Revolutionary War days when Britain was on the look out for colony sympathizers trying to over take it from France.
We were in Gibraltar during a road trip around Spain and, well, it is there. It is full of the English getting out of the rain and fog. It is only 14 miles from Africa and from the rock Morocco is easy to see.
