Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory wedged onto a narrow limestone peninsula at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. The Rock dominates everything — nearly 430 metres of sheer cliff rising from a small, dense town that blends English pubs with Andalusian heat.

About Gibraltar

Overview

Gibraltar borders Spain to the north and faces Morocco across the Strait, just 14 kilometres away. English is the official language, though many residents speak Llanito, a local mix of English and Spanish. The pound sterling (Gibraltar pound) is the currency, though euros are widely accepted. Despite its tiny size — under seven square kilometres — it functions as a distinct jurisdiction with its own government, legal system, and cultural identity shaped by centuries of British rule and Mediterranean proximity.
