Home Comforts in the Gibraltar Sun

Day 1  Arrive in Gibraltar      
Welcome to sunny Gibraltar, your home away from home for the next few days! Upon arrival at the airport, it’s a short walk or even shorter bus journey to your beautiful hotel, ideally situated in the heart of Gibraltar's historic old town. Once unpacked, head to Ocean Village Marina to enjoy the colourful lights, upmarket restaurants and luxury superyachts along the dock.        

Day 2  Gibraltar Rock  
No holiday to Gibraltar is complete without a visit to Gibraltar Rock. This geographical feature from which Gibraltar takes its name is a 400m cliff, from the top of which you can take in spectacular views of three countries (Gibraltar itself, Spain and Morocco). Travel by cable car to the peak and meander along the unique trails throughout the reserve – watch out for the cheeky Macaque monkeys which reside here!        

Day 3  Underground tunnels and Gibraltar Old Town        
The Great Siege Tunnels carved within Gibraltar Rock, were built by the British as a defence against France and Spain to take back the Rock. Additional tunnels were added in World War 2 bringing the total length to a remarkable 51kms. Duck and squeeze your way around the network as you learn more about the history through detailed exhibitions and photographic displays. In the afternoon head into Gibraltar Old Town where you’ll find a surreal blend of English-style pubs and shops and traditional Spanish architecture. On Main Street find a spot on one of the many pretty terraces to enjoy the glorious Mediterranean sunshine.        

Day 4 Hit the beach        
Today explore the beautiful beaches and bays that line Gibraltar’s scenic coastline. There’s six to choose from including the picturesque beach and colourful village of Catalan Bay, the rocky shores and crystal clear waters of Camp Bay and Eastern Beach, Gibraltar’s largest. Casual lunch spots serving delicious seafood can be found by them all.        

Day 5  Europa Point        
On your final morning, catch the bus to Europa Point at the most southerly tip of Gibraltar. Take in the beautiful views across the ocean towards Morocco before heading back to the airport to catch your flight home.
