With a mix of British, Spanish, Italians and Jews, along with many more nationalities, the population of Gibraltar has grown into a very cosmopolitan place to live, thanks to the new financial district and online gaming industry, created on reclaimed land from the sea.

Exploring Gibraltar has been a goal for some time and our cruise ship docked in Cadiz so we decided to make the 1 1/2 hour trip to go there. Our driver Carlos was waiting for us when the trip docked and we traveled in a very nice car with him and showered him with questions along the way. He is an expert driver and answered our questions about the area well since he is a life long resident. At Gibraltar one must exit the EU and enter British territory. Carlos had an ID that allowed him to escort us through to meet our Gibraltar guide Mustaffa. Mustaffa is a gifted guide and makes sure your trip is enjoyable. Somehow the parked cars and people always seemed to part when we needed to move from spot to spot. He explained the historical aspects and allowed us time to move, read the various placards, and take photos. We never felt rushed. Being so experienced he knows all the workers along the way and seems to have a relationship with the band of apes at the top. He brings along snacks for them and as clients we were able to interact, and feed them. If you are comfortable with it, they will even perch on your shoulders for a photo. At the end of the tour he recommended a fish and chips shop where we had a beer with the food (what else in a British town?). While were touring and dining, Carlos waited patiently on the other side. We walked back across the active runway but had to stop at the barrier for a British Airways jet to land and taxi by giving us one of the unique experiences of Gibraltar. We went through the customs line where Carlos met us for the comfortable ride back to the ship. We had changes to the start time caused by the cruise operator and our contact Mark always answered right away and kept out guides informed. The communication was great from him and we highly recommend the tour.
