What we will do
- Travel
north across Gibraltar to the border between this small colony and Spain,
and to the Spanish mainland beyond. You are headed towards Catalan Bay,
and from this vantage point overlooking a Genoese-style fishing village,
you will be able to savor the spectacular views of Spain and North Africa.
- Next
you will proceed along the outskirts of town, passing the American War
Memorial and the Trafalgar Cemetery to arrive at Europa Point. From here
you can admire views of the coast of North Africa, just 12 miles across
the famous Strait of Gibraltar. From here you will appreciate why this
territory was, and continues to be, of such strategic importance to the
British Navy.
- Your
next stop will be at the Rock Hotel for a delicious taste of tapas
(appetizers). Soak in the views overlooking the marina and relax as you
try typical Mediterranean cuisine and glass of wine.
- Return to the ship at
the end of the tour.
