Vacation PART Two GIBRALTAR

















More details of my trip to Spain/Morocco/Gibraltar..
Gibraltar is British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean and a short drive from Marbella. Its so odd because half of the inhabitants are Spanish but they use Pounds rather than Euros. The main attraction is ROCK OF GIBRALTAR Which I went all the way to the top of, all 1,398 ft high of it. You have to go on these tiny Wire Basket Cable Cars all the way up and it takes 6 minutes, it was windy that day so it rocked like hell. Once your up there the view is insane, so surreal, like a painting. The best part is the monkeys that roam around all over freely. To top it off I explored ST Michaels Cave also known as THE GATES TO HADES...The inside is mind blowing and they even have orchestra seating inside where they hold lavish concerts and private Weddings. The small streets below and old cemeteries are beautiful. So much history and culture. The food was great, Its odd how I ate more Italian food in Spain/Uk Territory than Spanish food. Had the best Spaghetti Ive ever had in my life at a small restaurant down the rock of Gibraltar. My descriptions doesnt do it justice. Just being up there watching over felt out of this world..Totally enjoyed taking it in and thinking how it was hundreds of years ago when the Rock was used for war and hiding. Oh the world...
