Summer brings an average of 10.5 hours of sunshine a day. Winter can be a mixture of fine, wet and cool weather. On average, only 30% of days are classified as ‘wet’. The pleasant temperature of the water in Gibraltar makes it ideal for swimmers and divers.

W hen you first see the Rock of Gibraltar, it is its impressive stature, towering isolated above the surrounding countryside, that causes the greatest impact. It is a narrow peninsula linked to the end of the Iberian Peninsula by a narrow sandy isthmus. The Airport is built on this flat area, and the frontier with Spain is to the North. The Eastern side is made up of sheer cliffs, reaching a maximum altitude of 426 metres with sandy beaches forming the perimeter. The western slopes are gentler and much of its lower half is taken up by the city, with the upper parts having been made into a nature reserve.

Lonely Planet - Gibraltar
Looming like some great ship off the southernmost tip of Spain, the tiny British colony of Gibraltar is a heady compound of curiosities. To the ancient Greeks and Romans, it was one of the two Pillars of Hercules, set up by the mythical hero to mark the edge of the known world.
