Rock of Gibraltar from the Spanish Side.
As per recent posts on Instagram I’m continuing with images from my trip to Spain in 2011. The Rock of Gibraltar is in the background.
This additional pic below is taken from the top of the Rock of Gibraltar looking across the town of Gibraltar, the harbour and over the sea to back to Spain. Part of the airport runway can be seen in the middle if the right hand side.
Travel is one of my favourite activities. It’s a easy way to learn more about history and surround yourself with others cultures.
Becareful what you vote for!!!
On the current events side Gibraltar has been in the news recently. It has come to light that with the pending British exit from the EU the Spanish can renegotiate terms with the UK regarding sovereignty of the Rock. This is even though these agreements precede the European Union agreements. Exiting the EU is becoming more complicated for the U.K.
For me the lessons are two. First is the importance of history to our current lives. Secondly, be careful what you are voting for as that “facts” sold via the media are curated and not comprehensive. It will interesting to see if the U.K. ends up sharing sovereignty of the Rock with Spain.

I visited Gibraltar for the music fest and did some sight seeing as well. It’s an interesting mend of cultures and so so tiny!
PS: just followed you on IG ?
Yes such skinny streets. Have nice to go to a music festival there. Thanks for following me on Instagram.
I lived in Barcelona for most of 1998, but I never made it to Gibraltar. Great pictures although that runway looks a little scary. I’m taking part in the A to Z Challenge too.
How neat living the in Spain. I love how they eat so late in the day.
