Runway at Gibraltar International Airport

Highlight • Structure

Here you have to walk across the runway if you want to go to Gibraltar. It's really strange. You can watch the planes or helicopters taking off and landing here.

I find Gibraltar bizarre enough to have to go there. And the family has to come with me. It's almost stressful to be able to get there in 2 hours from the holiday resort.
We park on the Spanish side and walk across the border. Passport control on the Spanish and British sides. Immediately after that, we have to cross …

Today we made a trip to Gibraltar. I recorded the tour with Komoot. We didn't walk the 16 km entirely on foot. But from the cable car station we went on a round trip with a guide. Visit to the stalactite cave, skywalk, various viewpoints and of course to the 🐒. On foot this would have become very violent in …

A hike from the motorhome parking area in Spain, across the border post and the runway of Gibraltar Airport into the British Overseas Territory.

We walk along the shopping area to the cable car, which, after a short wait, takes us to the starting point of the hike in the nature reserve in 7 minutes.

I don't really believe in stepping into a new country for just a few hours. But in Gibraltar, I personally think that's acceptable.

...so I went and looked at the monkeys on British soil. The nature reserve (entrance fee £19, including all the tunnels, caves, etc.) is easy to walk around - beautiful views, narrow paths, steep steps and a …

February 13, 2025,Gibraltar mit Shuttle und zu Fuß erkundet

If you visit Gibraltar, you should explore the rock with the shuttle. It is a little cheaper than the cable car and you don't have to walk as much. The shuttle is available directly after the border controls.
