Day 4 - Day trip to Gibraltar

Today we depart on an excursion to Gibraltar, located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Gibraltar is famous worldwide for its dramatic Rock. It overlooks the Straits of Gibraltar and is linked to Spain by a narrow isthmus. Gibraltar is imposing but small. It measures less than six square kilometres in total. There is also a colony of the famous apes, the only ones in Europe to run free in a semi-wild state. Look forward to some excellent photo opportunities and indulge in some great duty-free shopping. You will need to bring your passport with you to enter Gibraltar.

Its origin, according to archaeological findings in the old city, belongs to the Neolithic age. Ronda is probably best known for its impressive 18th-century bridge, which spans a 100m deep gorge and divides the old and new parts of the town. Ronda is also home to the world’s oldest bullring, which dates to 1785. We return to our hotel in the late afternoon, giving us plenty of time to enjoy this fabulous city.
