Introduction
Gibraltar is a popular and vibrant tourist destination at the
entrance to the Mediterranean, one of the busiest sea-lanes
in the world. It has been an iconic landmark since ancient
times, a military fortress with a rich and fascinating history
that has left its mark on the character and resilience of its
people.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and The Rock itself
is a dramatic limestone outcrop jutting out of the sea and on
its summit are open platforms providing breathtaking views
of the North African coast and Spain.
Gibraltar has excellent connections by land, air and sea. It is
served by an international airport, with regular scheduled
flights to and from London and the main cities in Britain and
Morocco.
The weather ranges from mild to warm and the Rock is
bathed in sunshine virtually the whole year round.
