- More info about travel to the Costa del Sol: www.ricksteves.com/europe/spa... The Rock of Gibraltar stands like a fortress at the gateway to the Mediterranean. With its strategic setting, Gibraltar has an illustrious military history and remnants of its martial past are everywhere. But within a generation the economy has gone from one dominated by the military to one based on tourism.

Rick is the man!
I had a scuffle with a barbary ape there yesterday atop the rock, it was trying to get into my mother's handbag so I grabbed it's arm and pulled it away. It lunged at me and grabbed my hand then went back for the bag, I pushed it away and it gave up and climbed onto the nearby railing.
About 2 minutes later a younger and friendlier one climbed onto my shoulders, I just let it climb around me as it seemed to be having fun.

This is My Homeland The Rock of Gibraltar😍😍 and thanks for the video😉
I live here too, born and raised
You are fortunate then. A very gorgeous place for sure 🙂👌👍👍🌴🌴
Did you like the apple?
Awesome place, spent 2 years there with the British Army.
Yeah, it is now that you left...
🤡
amazing place
This is so crazy. I can see those exact moroccan mountains from my balcony in costa del sol
I love your video and bought your DVDs, but I would love to see you tackle other countries! I know your specialty is Europe, with the occasional trip to Iran or India, but what filming a limited series of travels to Asia, Africa, or South America? Your treatment of European destination is so complete and detail, that it would be a shame not to have the same treatment for a few other destinations, for everyone to enjoy, forever!
11 yrs of your comment, still no response.

The Rock, Gibraltar is also the home of a Underground, 10 feet underground base!
There are some caves were they go with their submarines to an anunaki base with some kind of advanced knowledge
What a sight I once seen it from a far
Thank you for info & video
Looks like an interesting place to see.
Agreed
You should read a short book called "Vamos a contar mentiras" by Juan and José María Sánchez Galera. It provides some really interesting perspective for Spaniards and us foreigners alike on Spanish history among which the brutal and inhumane conquest of the America's you mentioned (e.g. where are all the Sioux, Cheyenne, Cherokee, Iroquis, Apache etc. compared to the considerable Indian populations in countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, México, Peru etc.).
Look at the number of Spanish who arrived in South America vs. the amount of immigrants that came to North America!
I knew some people would comment here just for GxK lol
Reminds me of the Prudential Rock!!
It IS the ‘Prudential’ Rock of Gibraltar! That’s where I first learned of it as a kid.
Wait where is Godzilla!?
I am not by any means Pro-British empire, but do people forget that Spain has two city-state things in Morroco? That's why I find it weird when Spain makes a big deal about it, I mean Southern Spain is colonised by British tourist anyway lol.
My paisanos make a big deal about everything. Including being Spanish.
Nice rick love your movies I’ll show ✌️around next time
I was there today !
grate place to go
This is my home
remix gaming i do i was there the most funny thing is the airport
I too live here, born and raised

Ceuta, Melilla y Canarias de Marruecos! Menorca de Gran Bretaña!
Payasa qué no sabe ni lo qué habla por mucho qué les duela Gibraltar es español
Gibraltar Español¡ lo dice un hispano.
Claire . yes
I am passing through in the spring and wondering what to do with my luggage while we look around. Any tips?
I'd have booked a tour guide to take you through some of the tunnels but you probably would've had to have booked in advance. Just go on your own through the trails if I'm honest. If you did do that were you one of the people who wonders through Main Street with hiking gear thinking you can go up through there?😂
Prudential brought me here! 1896 AD
I have a head like Gilbalta. Our Ladies of Carmella, pray for us. TTT come around, some yins lost and must be found.

Jay Z brought me here “How could you falter when you’re the Rock of Gibraltar, I had to get off the boat so I could walk on water”
Hey can I visit Gibraltar? Been a fan since ch-hood.
Anyone can
I always liked to spend some hours in Gibraltar, having some real beer and looking to Africa. Hope it's gonna be there when I will return next time..
I see the same people with same attitude everywhere you go
Godzilla x Kong brought me here
This summer we was telling the british people in menorca to put the spanish flag in boats so shut up,and put the spanish flag when you are in water
Jasenovac First konc lager for kids Magnum Crimen
Not according to Mr. Cameron the other day...Lol
GUSTAVO
These spanish landscapes are awesome!!!
Tariq bin ziyad documentary brought me here
jay z brought me here "How could you falter when you're the Rock of Gibraltar?"
Same here
Oh no! I'm in Malaga and out of habit, we forgot to bring our passports with us. Now, as honest Czechs, we can't spend our hard-earned money in Gibraltar. What good did it do for Britain to leave the EU?
Casterly Rock
WHEN THIS IS OVER, THEY'LL ALL KNOW DA NAME... GIBRALTAR!!!!!!
ITs the Frick 'n Pitts.
0:18 "and as if to remind visitors that they'd left Spain and entered the United Kingdom..." strickly speaking, that's not entirely true. Unlike Ceuta and Melilla, which are treated as integral parts of Spain, Gibraltar is not, nor has it ever been an integral part of the United Kingdom. Gibraltar, like other remaining places that used to be part of the British Empire, is a British Overseas Territory, which is a separate subdivision from the United Kingdom itself, namely, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
Yes and No. It self governing and not a part of the Nation called United Kingdom but it IS a part of the Kingdom called United Kingdom. It falls under the UK crown and thus the UK is responsible for its defense and good governance. The highest court is the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.Gibraltarians are citizens of the United Kingdom.
It is just like Puerto Rico and the United States.
the rock johnson
Gibraltar, I want to buy your rock.
gebraltar =GB
GB is S.....T.Back Gibraltar Spain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big mouth anyone?
Was Gibraltar on big mouth?
The overwhelming majority in Gibraltar voted to remain part of Britain. How stupid is that! 85 percent of the population is British why would they want to be part of Spain. BRITS GIVE US BACK OUR ROCK.
Martin Brizuela No.
it isn't your rock.Gibralter is the U.K.'s rock
@@richardsellsaz6865 Ya lo veremos pirata
This story is such malarkey
How are you visgoth army...hahah
Gibraltar should return to Andalusia !! and also Spain & Portugal the are Andalusia countries !
Gibraltar was never part of Andalusia. Get your history right.
Apart from the minor geographical difference which exist between Morocco and Britain heheh...
The differences between ceuta and melilla and gibraltar are as follows: - ceuta and melilla are not in the un decolonisation list, gibraltar is
- ceuta and melilla are integral parts of spain with equal rights and competencies while gibraltar is a crown dependency
- ceuta and melilla have been part of spain since the 1500s when it unified with portugal, gibraltar only after the 1700s
-gibraltas was an integral part of spain, ceuta and melilla were independent from morrocco and they only recognized religious dominance
- inhabitants from ceuta and melilla are mostly natives while in gibraltar most of the natives went away and founded la línea de la concepción so the inhabitants now are portuguese, italians and of english descent
- finally, spain HAS disputed Britains claim on gibraltar while Morrocco has not pushed a formal claim on either ceuta or melilla
No
Several territories on the decolonization list rejected any claim to independence; the United Nations has no sovereign power over the territories of other nations.
Facts : The reason why morocco hasnt pushed a formal claim on ceuta and melilla is because they are afraid to loose spain's recognition on western sahara as morocco's sovereignity. Ceuta and mellila were for a long time home to berber tribes, the ones you call "Mauris" in your own country..
GIBRALTAR ESPAÑOL
Dream on.
Ceuta and Melilla to Morocco

MALVINAS ARGENTINAS
Apex legends will sue you for that title
😑😑🙄😒boring
yeah well, theres a difference between 500 years and 70 years go. Then again, thumbs me down, this is packed of brits anyways.
Kiss goodbye to GiB UK
That aged well. We still have Gibraltar. Then again it’s people did overwhelmingly vote to remain British.
@@georgemacpherson1992 Roman empire were existing in people's minds long past it's disappearance. Even 2 centuries after, some cities were paying taxes to Rome. Give it a time. You, for instance, still believe that British empire exists.
