The Rock of Gibraltar sits at the southernmost tip of Europe with a land frontier to Spain on its northern front. It covers a land area of about six square kilometres, overlooking the Straits to North Africa. The sub-tropical climate is warm and welcoming throughout the year. The size of the population is around 30,000 from differing cultural backgrounds including Spanish, Genoese, Maltese, Moroccan, Jewish and Portuguese. The official language is English although a mixture of English and Spanish is spoken in casual conversation – this local dialect is referred to as "Llanito".

Gibraltar is VAT exempt which means its shopping experience for items such as tobacco, cosmetics, perfumery, spirits, jewellery and electrical goods, is one of the cheapest in Europe. Spain on your doorstep, and Morocco are good options once you have exhausted all the sightseeing in Gibraltar itself. They offer an extraordinary array of interesting places, waiting to be discovered. Our neighbouring town, La Linea is 2 minutes walk across the border. You will have the opportunity to visit Marbella, Malaga, Seville and Granada just to name a few, all within easy reach of Gibraltar.
