Welcome to Gibraltar Brochure

Welcome to Gibraltar is a brochure produced by Allied Media Partnership that introduces the Rock as a destination rich in history, natural wildlife and Mediterranean character. Situated in the heart of Mediterranean Europe, Gibraltar combines a striking physical presence with the practical appeal of a sterling currency and V.A.T free shopping.

A Unique Strategic Location

Gibraltar sits in a unique strategic location on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar and linked to the Spanish mainland by a narrow isthmus. Despite its imposing appearance, the territory is small, measuring less than six square kilometres in total, with precipitous rock and cliffs stretching skywards some 426 metres.

Natural History and Climate

The Rock is renowned for its rich natural history, which flourishes in a sub-tropical climate. It is the only place in Europe where monkeys range free in a semi-wild state, a striking feature of Gibraltar's appeal alongside its stunning scenery.

A Base to Explore

Today Gibraltar is also a stimulating world centre of business and commerce, and a perfect base from which to explore surrounding cultures, countries and continents. Visitors can enjoy a day trip to the ancient town of Seville, famous for flamenco dancing, or discover Jerez, the home of sherry. A short ferry ride across the Strait lies Morocco and the exotic town of Tangier, while several golf courses sit within a short drive of the Rock, including the world famous Valderrama.
