Gibraltar

The British Rock at the southern tip of the peninsula.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Its symbol is the Rock, a 426-metre limestone mountain that dominates the strait separating Europe from Africa. Take the cable car to enjoy panoramic views and meet the famous Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys in Europe. Visit St Michael's Cave, the Great Siege tunnel and the World War II cannons. Main Street offers duty-free shopping and a fascinating contrast between British and Mediterranean. Do not forget your passport: although part of the peninsula, it is an international border.
