Car Hire Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a small peninsula that is part of the British Overseas Territory. It borders Andalusia in Spain. The major landmark of Gibraltar is the Rock of Gibraltar and at its foot is Gibraltar’s populated area, where 30,000 people of many different nationalities live.

The Rock of Gibraltar is best known for its flora and fauna, which are protected by law. The Barbary Macaques, a species of monkey, are what most people think of when they think of Gibraltar. It is thought that the monkeys escaped from a transport of animals from North Africa to Spain. The alternative idea is that they are the remnants of a species of monkeys that lived in Europe many millions of years ago. Protecting the monkeys has sometimes been an issue, as many people try to come too close to them, or feed them by hand. Stringent laws are in place to try and protect both the monkeys and Gibraltar’s other wildlife and nature.

The plant life on the Rock of Gibraltar is also beautiful and truly worth watching and photographing. There is chickweed and thyme, as well as the Gibraltar Candytuft. Migratory birds can be seen in the rights seasons and they are attracted specifically by the flora of the rock.

The expression is that something is “as strong as the rock of Gibraltar”, because of its perceived invincibility. Long sieges have taken place in Gibraltar, but nothing has been able to destroy it or its people.

Gibraltar is but a small island, but if you are hoping to visit it, it can be advisable to hire a car, not in the least because it will enable you to visit some of Spain’s Andalusia, which is known for its high levels of tourism, beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife.
