Discovering Calpe

Nestled on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar stands as a testament to the intersection of cultures and a bastion of history. Its strategic location at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea has made it a coveted territory throughout the ages. From the ancient Phoenicians to the Moorish conquerors and later the British Empire, Gibraltar’s history is a tapestry woven with diverse influences.

One of the most striking features of Gibraltar is its iconic Rock, a towering limestone monolith that dominates the landscape. Over the centuries, this imposing natural formation has witnessed countless battles and served as a symbol of strength and resilience. Gibraltar’s unique position as a British Overseas Territory imbues it with a distinct blend of British and Mediterranean cultures, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions.
