Gibraltar is a small yet strategically significant British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, guarding the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. The capital and only city is Gibraltar City. Home to about 34,000 people, English is the official language, though Spanish and a local dialect known as Llanito are also spoken. Gibraltar is dominated by the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, which houses Europe’s only wild monkeys, the Barbary macaques. The region enjoys a subtropical Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers.

Gibraltar’s economy is supported by tourism, financial services, and shipping. Tourists are drawn to its caves and tunnels within the Rock of Gibraltar and the breathtaking views from its summit, where Africa can be seen on clear days. Historically, Gibraltar has been a crucial naval base, adding to its unique character. Walking through Gibraltar’s streets, where British and Spanish influences blend seamlessly, offers a distinct cultural experience. Gibraltar is a place where Europe and Africa meet, where the old and new converge, making it not only a strategic location but also a tourist gem.
