Details
Gibraltar, a self-governing British colony, is a small, narrow peninsula, located at the southern edge of Spain. It overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar, and the northern coastal areas of Africa.
Over the centuries, Gibraltar's unique position at the western entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, made it the focus of territorial power struggles.
It was finally claimed by the British in 1713, and today it's an important air base and international port. In addition, tourists by the thousands travel here to tour the attractions, "The Rock," and to enjoy the wonderful weather.
The Gibraltar maps and information pages are currently being revised, but will be posted soon.
