Gibraltar travel guide

Probably the best thing in Gibraltar (given you love everything kitch). These British pubs tend to compensate for being so far from the British mainland that they vastly overdo their Britishness. The result is pubs that are more British than the regular pub on the British Isles. However, the truly weird thing about these bars is that many local Gibraltarians are both British and Spanish. For example, most are Catholics and not members of the Church of England and multiple of these places serve both Fish’n’Chips and Tapas. The inevitable cultural confusion is completed by the bartender being a Polack or Italian working abroad rather than a local. So even if kitch is not your thing, the pubs makes an excellent place to observe the rather unique Gibraltar culture – if you can find one without too many tourists.

"The Rock" is not only the iconic landmark of Gibraltar; it is also the greatest attraction in this weird British territory on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Many would probably call it Gibraltar’s only attracting. The Rock offers excellent but challenging hikes, a beautiful natural cave and miles of defensive tunnels from different wars that has turned the entire Rock into a big bunker that has kept both Spaniards and Germans away from the strategic important Gibraltar. The geological interested might be excited by the fact that the top of the Rock is actually older than the bottom. At some point in history, the whole thing has somehow "flipped over". The rest of us will be satisfied with the fantastic views of the Spanish coast and Morocco the Rock provides on clear days.
