Travel Info a map would be very helpful. if you can provide a link, please place it under source. thank yous Travel Tips Gibraltar, a self-governing British colony, is a small, narrow peninsula, located at the southern edge of Spain. Source(s): http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/count... Other Travel Tips Its a rocky peninsula at the southernmost point of spain. Its a British colony, and we're not giving it back! It belongs to U.k and it's next to southern of Spain.It has border with Andalusia. Therefore it is in the Iberian peninsula. Gibraltar's interest is essentially its novelty: the genuine appeal of the strange, looming physical presence of its rock: being one of Britain's last remaining colonies. This enormous hunk of limestone, five kilometres long, two kilometres wide and 450 metres high - a land area smaller than the city of Algerciras (www.algeciras.to) across the water - has fascinated and attracted people of the Meditteranean basin since Neanderthal times, confirmed by the finds of skulls and artefacts in a number of the Rock's many caves. http://www.directestates.com/area_guide/... |
