Gibraltar Mini Guide
Known as The Rock, the small island of Gibraltar is a British colony which lies off the southern coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Many low cost air carriers use Gibraltar airport and these include easyJet flights to
London Gatwick and
Luton. Iberia Airlines and British Airways also had flights to Gibraltar from
Madrid but these have currently been suspended as not enough passengers were using them.
It is possible that easyJet may offer flights to
Berlin,
New York or
Paris in the near future. Flying to Gibraltar from Northern African destinations like
Morocco is also on the cards. If you are driving into Gibraltar you can cross 24 hours a day at La Linea de la Concepcion. Please note that the road into Gibraltar may close when planes are landing as it is crossed by the runway and that Gibraltar has a complex one way system of streets.
It is very easy to get around Gibraltar as it is only seven square kilometres though some of the mountain roads are quite steep. One place which has to be explored on foot is the maze of underground tunnels which actually exist within Gibraltar. Gibraltar has had a fascinating history which started with its place as one of the Pillars of Hercules marking the edge of the Mediterranean and the known world according to Greek mythology.
In the eighth century Gibraltar acted as the staged post for the Islamic invasion of the Iberian Peninsula by Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Muslim governor of Tangier. The Rock initially took his name which was Jabal Tariq and is translated as the ‘Mountain of Tariq’.
Gibraltar was then handed to Britain by Spain 10 centuries later in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht and formally declared a British colony in 1830. The topmost part of the Rock is still a British military installation and off-limits to the public. To this day the people of Gibraltar do not like to be thought of as Spanish, though they have no problem with Spanish visitors.
Both English and Spanish are spoken on the island which was the birthplace of the word gibberish because of the islander’s habit of slipping between the two tongues in their speech. The island’s population are known as Gibraltarian or 'Llanito'. Nature lovers who visit Gibraltar can see pods of Dolphins offshore while the island itself is inhabited by apes.
