Rock Of Gibraltar, Semi-wild Apes, Whale & Dolphin Watching Trips

Gibraltar is present towards the southern coast of Spain and it offers amazing range

of activities and an opportunity to watch dolphins, semi-wild apes and whales. People can indulge in activities such as shopping and windsurfing or spend time quietly over the great beach and enjoy incredible views. The place is actually connected to Spain but has remained a British territory since a very long time. This means that one needs a passport to visit this place.

Gibraltar was made due to protrusion of an enormous limestone catering to the best and most incredible views that one can ever have across the sea to words Africa. The height of the rock is about 412 m that corresponds to 1400 ft. above the sea level. To reach at the top of this rock you do not have to indulge in trekking or climbing. It takes approximately 6 minutes to reach the viewpoint over the rock by the cable car ride.

Gibraltar is known to have five different and marvelous beaches named Catalan Bay, Eastern Beach, Sandy Bay, Camp Bay and Little Bay. Though Catalan Bay, Sandy Bay and Eastern Bay have soft sand, Camp Bay and Little Bay are known to be rocky beaches. A number of water sports are popular around those parts of water where Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean meets. Scuba diving courses and sailing schools help in familiar rising visitors with knowledge about various shipwrecks that took place around the rock. Fishing and windsurfing are quite popular in the area.

St. Michael's Cave that is present towards the upper part of the rock should not be missed. The area constitutes a colony of semi-wild apes. We can have a great time clicking some of these species. Some illustrations of the cave has been mentioned in the famous book Roman Pomponius Melia and a lot has been described about its tremendous history. The cave is present within the nature reserve of the upper rock and you need to buy a ticket in order to find and access to the cave.

Great Siege Tunnels - it was during the great siege that took place between the years 1779 to 1783, these tunnels were made using hammers, black powder charge, shovels and chisels. These tunnels are also present within the nature reserve and you can see army paraphernalia, ration boxes and canons always on display here.

Whale & Dolphin Watching -around three different species of the dolphins can be seen in Gibraltar. You can also go over a whale and dolphin watch boat trip. This trip takes about 90 minutes and takes visitors to the natural habitat of whales and dolphins which can be seen swimming and playing alongside the cruise.

Gibraltar is blessed with a temperate climate and is a great place to spend vacations.
