When must people think of Gibraltar they likely bring to mind an insurance company. I suppose it was my first exposure as a kid to this lovely place. Gibraltar is more than a rock. It is an historical and interesting place that is a destination for many tourists. It was a stronghold for many years, guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. It was also a fortress by being carved out or having its caves enlarged during various wars. The city, itself, is a bit of Britain. The shops, pubs and cafes remind one of a small town in England. The language is English although many folks speak other tongues, especially Spanish as it is surrounded by Spain.
When in Spain, it is worth a stop or a stay. We recommend "The Rock" Hotel and hiring a private driver for a four hour tour of the place including a trip up the rock.
