Supplying breath-taking views of the neighbouring Spanish
and Moroccan shorelines, Gibraltar is a British overseas territory and headland
which is situated on the south coast of Spain. Known locally as ‘The
Rock’, the area is only three square miles in size, however,
due to the Rock of Gibraltar,
its namesake, it manages to rise up 1,396 feet above sea level. Gibraltar has a
lot in common with its next-door neighbour Spain, including the welcomed
Mediterranean climate, which business travellers staying in serviced apartments
in Gibraltar can benefit from and enjoy after a day of conferences and work
events. Whether you are travelling on a short trip or long term stay, select
one of our furnished apartments as your base to explore the peninsular.
Transport in Gibraltar
With everything in close proximity in Gibraltar, travelling
around is easy to do by foot. However, if you are eager to head towards
popular, historic landmarks or explore surrounding areas, purchasing an all-day
pass for the bus service is a smart move. The buses travel to well-known
landmarks such as Europa Point and Moorish
Castle, and can take you from point A to point B quickly and
efficiently. Alternatively, you can rent a car and travel at your own pace;
just make sure you remember that although it is British territory, you need to
drive on the right side of the road, European-style.
Shopping in Gibraltar
One thing that Gibraltar is actually underrated for is its
shopping experience, with its independent retail culture and duty free status
for visitors to enjoy. A must visit when staying in a serviced apartment in
Gibraltar is the Gibraltar
Crystal, a boutique crystal maker dating back to 1995 that offers
guests the opportunity to commemorate their trip by purchasing a unique
crystal. Additionally, there is an indoor
public market which sells a range of local, Spanish and Moroccan
produce for you to cook up a storm in your furnished apartment’s kitchen.
Things to do in Gibraltar
Unbeknownst to many, the Rock of Gibraltar actually
possesses more than meets the eye, as the Great
Siege Tunnels are housed within it. Duck and squeeze through the
narrow spaces as you explore the history of Gibraltar and walk the same path
that many did during the Great Siege of
Gibraltar in 1779-83. If you are visiting from the UK and feeling a
bit homesick when staying in one of our serviced apartments in Gibraltar, be
sure to visit the Old Town. It is a
true slice of England in the sun and is a network of picturesque lanes populated
with British high-street stores and traditional pubs.
Facts about Gibraltar
Along the coastline of Gibraltar you will find twelve beaches
with lengthy stretches of sand and blue waters, however, all twelve have not
always been there. Back in 2014, the Sandy
Bay beach was actually constructed to create a new recreational area
for tourists and residents alike, and required 50,000 tonnes of sand from
overseas. Tourists are not the only species that roam freely around the island,
with their wild monkey
population also causing trouble; make sure your backpack is sealed
when exploring the nature reserve or you may find that one or two of your
snacks have gone missing after!
