  • 2 ore

Take a remarkably in-depth introductory drive around Gibraltar, occasionally pausing to explore landmarks such as the Trinity House Lighthouse and St. Michael’s Cave.


After departing from the pier, you will soon pass through the historical Waterport Gates district and on to the Cross of Sacrifice war memorial. You will then cross Gibraltar’s unusual airport runway, the world’s only runway that bisects a major road, forcing cars to stop every time a plane lands or takes off. To the north lies the so-called frontier, the border between the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and Spain.


Then turning south, you will pass the former fishing village of Catalan Bay on the way to Europa Point. The lighthouse here was constructed in 1841 for vessels passing through the strait. The existing lantern features two LEDs while the original wick-oil lantern is on exhibit at the University of Gibraltar. The views from Europa Point are always spectacular, and if it is a clear day, you should be able to spot Africa.


Another highlight will be St. Michael’s Cave, which was once believed to be bottomless, and adjoining Cathedral Cave, which is often used as an auditorium for concerts and even fashion shows. As you stroll through the cavernous interior, you may learn about the history of the cave, which was first inhabited in the Neolithic period.


Finally on the return to the pier, you can expect to see the Rock of Gibraltar’s free-roaming Barbary Apes, a tailless species indigenous to Morocco and Algeria.
