- Join us as we take you on a quick tour through Gibraltar, a.k.a the “Key to the Mediterranean”.
Centuries of history and vast cultural diversity shaped this British overseas territory into a must-visit tourist destination. As the home of the European Pillar of Hercules (the Rock of Gibraltar), this place offers breathtaking views of two continents, Europe and Africa.
The UK influence became evident as soon as we got off the Sky Princess. Even the girls started sounding very British all of a sudden :-)
For such a small place, Gibraltar offers many interesting sights. From the famous red phone booths and police officers with distinctive tophats to mega yacht hotels and Mediterranean-style cafés - Gibraltar has a peculiar mixture of Spanish vibrance and British tradition.
Shortly after disembarking the ship we were welcomed by the Grand Casemates Gates that led us into the main Gibraltar square.
After a short walk through the busy streets of Gibraltar, we decided to visit the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. Since we failed to find any public transport, we continued walking all the way to the top and we didn’t regret it because the road offered spectacular waterfront views. Thanks to the nice sunny weather, we were even able to see the mountains of Morocco on the coast of Africa.
As soon as we reached the top, we saw the Pillar of Hercules - a landmark paying tribute to Gibraltar as an important financial and trading point.
While deciding on what to see next, Pepe had a great idea to do a little prank on the tourist busses arriving at the viewpoint for pictures. It was even more fun because we convinced other tourists to join in on it with us.
Our next stop was the Apes den. The Upper Rock Nature Reserve is home to the famous Barbary macaque apes - the only wild monkeys in Europe. The last time we were here, there were many more of them around. Luckily, we still got the chance to take great close-up shots of these funny little creatures.
On our way down, we took a different route that led us back to the main square and cruise ship quite fast.
Back on board, we sat down for dinner at a restaurant that offered amazing Sunset views.
Then the girls discovered a secret elevator that took us up and down for about 20 minutes before we finally got to the 18th floor.
Later in the evening, we spent time relaxing in the hot tub, sipping on some nice drinks as the Sun slowly set down in the West.
This evening was made extra special by the ship horns playing a short melody announcing that we were about to set sail.
And if that wasn’t magical enough, we went to see a magician perform some entertaining tricks and illusions.
After all that relaxing time, we needed music to get us in our usual rhythm and the amazing Phillip Browne delivered another perfect performance.
Talking about ending the night on a high note, we decided to treat ourselves to some delicious desserts and some more dancing!
Enjoy the video!

Great Video ! Fun to re-live the cruise in 2019.
I know...We're having so much fun re-watching the clips as we're making these videos. 🤩
Nice trick with the tour busses. You really showed them.
Good to see you guys having a fun and awesum time on a boat in gibralta what more could you ask for, a very entertaining vlog, love Pepe's dance moves lol... 😎❤️🇳🇿
Glad you liked it! But wait...Pepe’s got many more dance moves 😂😂You’ll see them in the next cruise video.
Can't wait to see this episode! - Is it the last on the ship or are there more to come?
There's another day at sea video we're working on next. We did a day at sea to get to Gibraltar and another one to get back up to Barcelona so we have all the clips and fun activities onboard the ship!
Grest!!!
I was on deck 17. Cabin 223 last year in February. PERFECT cabin across from retreat pool. Love this ship and following all your travels. Thank you. ENJOY.
That's amazing! I LOVED this ship too! It was so nice and such a fantastic experience! Sounds like you had a great cabin.
I couldn't help but notice on the Pillar of Hercules 'map of the world ' NZ. was included. Not many maps on that side of the world do . Loved the adventure Thank you. Kiwi from Virginia.
Oh that’s funny. I saw a video about all the maps that don’t include NZ. 😳 😂😂
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders It's as if we don't exist to some; Lol
At 5:52: On "The Modern World" circular, copper-colored map- NZ is there- to the right of Australia around 4 o'clock.
@@waltpartymiller6802 Yes, it was great to see it was included in that map . . a lot of world maps leave NZ off.
Thank you so much again!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed coming along with us!
The secret elevator 🤫not anymore 😂, Gibraltar is beautiful what an amazing video, absolutely beautiful 😍
Thanks Meg! 😁
We can't wait to visit Gibraltar. It looks amazing.
It’s a pretty cool place. We have another Gibraltar video where we went inside the caves in case you want to see what that was like. czcams.com/video/N7Zw3l_v9qg/video.html
Nice! I have a friend from Gibraltar she lives in Wellington too.
Oh wow! I've never met anyone from Gibraltar before. I mean living abroad.
I am waiting 🦋🦋🦋🦋
lovely
Thanks!
What Monty did you guys go?
This was so long ago I have no idea 😯
Magnifique vidéo ..
Thanks! Just curious how you saw this video already since we haven't put it live yet :-)
How long was the walk up. I took a shuttle
I can't remember but probably a good 20 mins...maybe?!?
Hello this island is beautiful and warm
It was just perfect weather when we were there but it does get cold in the winter months.
hi guys ,how was Jibraltar ,what abt the people there ,guess there must be lots of people of morrocan origin ,were u able to find Morrocan rstrnt ,🌦☂️dd u try Morrocan dish Koskosi .. ..🥖🍯🍲
Not really sure why you found purposely blocking tourists’ photos funny. Just seemed rude.
Beautiful😍😍😍
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Yah!!🤩
Spain looks so nice
❤
🙏🏻❤️
For some of the people on the bus, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be there and take photos. You guys weren’t funny stopping. Always enjoyed your channel till today 🙄
Ah I know...many people made us realize this.
How find the airport it is not normally
They literally have the landing strip right when you come into the town. You have to cross the landing strip if you're driving in.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders it is dangerous when landing airport madera portugal the same
It's always fun for me seeing you, my favourite YT family, having so much fun traveling the world. And I must admit I envy you (and Pepe in this video) for having so much fun!
Thanks! We had quite the amazing time but it gets better. You'll need in the next few videos.
Your from where?
Hi! We're from Canada.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders wow thanks dear☺🤗
Great video! Really enjoyed it !!
Well, how's everything? ?
Well, yesterday I watched a thriller IPL match between my favourite team KKR and CSK. KKR fought back really well in the game and Andre Russell and Pat Cummins almost brought KKR home. But still it was a terrific game. I was quite sad last night because of the loss of my favourite team KKR. But I believe in the players and I am confident that they can bounce back 😊 and do you watch IPL?? If you don't then you can watch it, it's pretty good and entertaining. Well, STAY SAFE AND HAPPY 😄😄😄
P.S : AND ALSO I AM HOPING FOR A BACK TO BACK VIDEO!! WILL IT HAPPEN??? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!
Hello! So glad you enjoyed the video. We have a really fun one coming up for this weekend since we'll be hitting 50K subscribers!
I hope you're doing well. We're getting worried for India and Pakistan right now. Stay safe!
Beautiful 😍 😘 😍
Thanks 🤗
Blocking the view for the passengers on the bus was very inconsiderate. People with mobility issues do not have the luxury of walking the entire site to find great views. They are dependent on tour providers helping them to have the best experience they can.
I know but at the time it seemed like a funny prank.
Looking forward to seeing the red policemen.
He was with a top hat but not red on that day.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders - that's a helmet, not a top hat!
Wow. Was a big fan of your travels. But what you did to those tourist buses was so messed up and pretty disgusting. Those people might have spent their life saving up for a trip like that to only go once in a life time and you travel all the time. Why would you block their view and block them from taking pictures. That is not funny and pretty evil.
Aw thanks for taking the time to write this and also giving us a different perspective about it. Just so you don’t think we’re that evil, the view is not just in this one spot but is all along the drive and the rock has many spots to stop and take in the views but I do get what you’re saying.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thank you for answering. I will remove my comment as it was kind of harsh on my part.
Heyyyy
Hello! 🤗
So you were jerks and blocked the view so others could not enjoy it? It wasn't funny - it was rude.
Wait a second so it’s really funny to put your arms up in the way of the people on the tour bus so they can’t see?? How is that funny? That is extremely inconsiderate as the people have paid money for the bus tour and to stop at certain viewpoints that look nice. I really don’t see why anyone would find such a thing funny or entertaining to block peoples view on holiday ....
Lighten up a little and have fun.
Agreed. Absolutely disgusting.
Such privileged behavior. Have fun by all means but be considerate to others.
I agree. This is the 1st and last video I’ll watch from you. You’re teaching your kids to be rude and disrespectful. Unbelievable.
Greetings beautiful family from Argentina, l hope you visit the Argentina falkland lslands that are very beautiful, the only band thing is that they are occupied by the English 🇬🇧👈😏😏
I heard the Falkland Islands are so beautiful! We'll make it one day to visit! Occupied by the English😂 😂
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders yes, many years ago the English took the falkland islands from us, but they are still Argentine since it is within their territory🇦🇷😐
Argentina took in and protected nazis after the war, you have no room to complain about foreigners
it's Britain's Falklands always has been nice lie Argentina
no offense but blocking that view was not even funny. who knows those people on the bus may have mobility issues to see the view and you stole that spotlight for them.
was ok until you decided to ruin other peoples view from the bus. what was all that about?
It was a joke/prank but looking back I can see how it wasn’t very nice. There were loads of viewing spots though but still.
11:08 Julia is a goddess! 🥰
You guys are so rude to the other tour buses also making fun of British accents.
Yea we did feel bad 😅 SORRY 😇
