The best MTB trails around La Línea De La Concepción

Great view over the sea to the African coast and the Atlas Mountains

Z. T. Concrete with cross grooves. Rideable with e-bike.

I can only agree with Globetrotter, hiking up and down is much more fun and keeps you fit. And you see this island from different perspectives. In addition, since the end of 2025, the cable car has been demolished because it had become too old and unsafe.

The Skywalk was inaugurated by none other than Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.

Great view of the strait

With a pedestrian traffic light😅 Always nice to wait for green...

The Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque is located at Europa Point in Gibraltar and is considered the southernmost mosque in Europe. It was opened in 1997 and was donated by the Saudi Arabian King Fahd ibn Abd al-Aziz. The modern building impresses with its bright architecture and its location directly by the sea with a view of Africa. In addition to the prayer room, the complex also includes a school, a library and event rooms for the Muslim community.

St Michael’s Cave was long believed to be bottomless. This probably gave birth to the story that the Rock of Gibraltar was linked to Africa by a subterranean passage under the Strait of Gibraltar. The famous macaques were said to have come to Gibraltar through this subterranean passage. Pomponious Mela, one of the earliest geographers who lived about the beginning of the Christian era, spoke about the cave in his writings. It was at one time believed that in 1704 Spanish troops spent a night in the cave after climbing the precipitous east face of the Rock. Another story about the cave recounts how a Colonel Mitchell and another officer were said to have descended into the cave at some unspecified date before 1840 and were never seen again. During WWII the cave was prepared as an emergency hospital, but was never used as such. The cave is open to visitors and makes a unique auditorium for concerts, ballet and drama. It has been in use as a theatre since the early sixties with capacity for 600 persons. At some period during the history of this cave, part of a stalagmite became too heavy on one side and fell, possibly thousands of years ago. It now lies on its side at the far end of the main chamber, cemented through the years by nature to the floor of the cave. In 1972 a slice was cut off from the top end which revealed the interior structure of the stalagmite in a most dramatic fashion. ‘The Awakening' at St Michael’s Cave An immersive light and sound installation expressing layers upon layers of history fused with the Rock. These ancient clocks now lay dormant. The Awakening illuminates these sculptures of time and reawakens their hidden story. As you journey through the cave system you will encounter these giant ancient clocks brought back to life, vast hidden forms and towering flowstones that once again are in full motion. The experience culminates within the main cavern in a 360-degree projection and light spectacle.’ The awakening show takes place every 7 minutes.
