Go to Gibraltar from Costa del Sol

Description:

If you have chosen an individual option for the excursion, then the place and time of the meeting you can offer yourself. I can also help you combine tours to different cities in one day. We plan the route together.
To get to Gibraltar, you will need to pass customs control at the checkpoint. Next, let’s get to know the city.
The peninsula and the rock got their name from the distorted Arabic name Jebel al-Tarik (which means “mountain of Tariq”),
In recent years, Gibraltar has become one of the recognized centers of sailing - a modern yachting center has been created in its bay with all the infrastructure relying on for buildings of this level.
On the Gibraltar rock there is a fortress complex of the XVIII century, considered impregnable. The Holyland Tunnel, which passes here, is believed to go exactly in the direction of Mecca and overlooks the Hall of St. George, which offers a beautiful panorama of the Catalan Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea.

The "Great Tunnels" are the venue for various exhibitions and concerts, theatrical performances are organized in warehouses and battery galleries, and some of the lower tunnels are used as transport arteries of the city. Beneath the vaults of the Princess-Caroline Battery (1732) is the Gibraltar War Heritage Centre, which has an extensive collection of items and weapons, as well as various relics dating from the Great Siege of 1783 to the present day.

One of the stations of the funicular is located in the so-called reserve, or Apes Dan. It is the home of the famous Gibraltar monkeys. Local primates are one of the varieties of tailless monkeys.

Of particular interest to tourists is the majestic Cathedral of St. Mary (construction began in 1462) and a real masterpiece of architectural art - the Scottish Church of St. Andrew, located next to the Harris Library in the heart of the city. The oldest in the city is the Catholic chapel Lady of Urope, rebuilt from a Moorish mosque in 1462, after the capture of Gibraltar by the Spanish. Serving as both a temple and a lighthouse, this colorful chapel was loved by sailors who brought her rich gifts, the most important of which is the statue of Our Lady (1864), which can still be seen in this shrine. Also noteworthy are the Alameda Garden, the picturesque country park, Trafalgar Cemetery and the Governor’s Residence building.
But one of the main attractions of the fortress city is, perhaps, the cave of St. Michael with an underground lake and spacious natural halls.
The traditional attractions of Gibraltar include the well-known Gibraltar Museum.

The traditional place of communication of Gibraltars and the favorite promenade for guests of the city is Main Street, or La Calle Real (Main Street), which runs almost along the entire length of the peninsula (however, south of the docks it is called Rosia Road). There is a huge number of pubs, souvenir shops, cafes and entertainment venues.
Despite the small size of the Rock, there are many places on its territory for the traditional British addiction to green spaces. The history of Gibraltar has contributed to the appearance of its parks - Moorish, Spanish, Italian and British styles are visible here literally with the naked eye, which, together with the combination of Mediterranean vegetation and typically British methods of garden planning, has formed many amazing places here.
