A couple hours south of Malaga, Spain, is the British territory of Gibraltar, home to the Rock of Gibraltar.
The Rock towers 1000 feet above the Mediterranean sea. Cable cars whisk you to the top in 6 minutes. It is possible to walk up also; it takes about 2-3 hours. I was considering walking until I saw the terrain and decided it wasn’t for me.
The 360-degree views of the Mediterranean sea are stunning.
View of beach and turquoise waters from the top of the rock.
Most of the terrain at the top is part of a nature reserve, where Barbary macaque monkeys roam freely. I think this one was practicing the balance beam for the next Olympics!
My only regret was that I didn’t allow enough time for Gibraltar; I could have easily spent another full day here. But I had already made arrangements for my next destination: Morocco. Moving on to a different continent!
