Monkeys having sex, soldiers assassinating Irish dudes and locals putting xenophobia to another level. Still, close to Spain and the sites of historical interest regarding the moors. (Allow four hours for border crossing.) I suggest a pair of binoculars. If you stand on the rock, you can see Gibraltan fishing boats and Spanish gunboats showboating with each other. If you have a shortwave radio, you can hear them swearing in both languages and threatening each other. Yeah, I am being cynical and I hope you enjoy it but it isn't quite the paradise of the advertising. Lots of political undercurrent and it spills over.
