Full Description
The Rock of Gibraltar
The Rock of Gibraltar is a limestone ridge rising about 426 metres above the sea, and it has guarded the entrance to the Mediterranean since antiquity. The ancient world called it one of the Pillars of Hercules. Today it belongs to the British territory of Gibraltar, with a nature reserve, tunnels, batteries and viewpoints across to Morocco on clear days.
Anyone searching for a Gibraltar day trip from Seville will find that this excursion brings the Rock's main sights into one day. The best time to visit Gibraltar is in spring or autumn, when the weather is pleasant, though the views are impressive year-round.
The caves of San Miguel
St Michael's Cave is a natural cavern system inside the Rock, with stalactites, stalagmites and an auditorium called the Cathedral Cave, where concerts are held. The cave has been known since prehistoric times and has been the subject of many legends. Entrance fees to the caves of San Miguel are included in this trip.
The visit adds a very different view of the Rock. Walking paths lead through lit chambers, and your guide explains the geology and the stories linked to the cave. Wear shoes with a good grip, as the floors can be damp.
The Barbary macaques
The Rock is inhabited by the Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys living freely in Europe. They roam the upper part of the Rock and are used to visitors, though they remain wild animals. Keep bags closed, do not feed them and do not try to touch them.
Many travellers ask whether they will really see the macaques on a Gibraltar day trip. In most cases they are easy to spot on the Rock, often sitting on walls or near the paths, and they are one of the most memorable parts of the excursion, especially for children. Take your photos from a respectful distance.
Historic centre and planning your Gibraltar day trip
You have free time to walk around Gibraltar's historic centre, where Main Street and Casemates Square offer cafés, shops and a mix of British and Mediterranean atmosphere. The trip crosses the border, so bring your passport or national ID card; requirements depend on your nationality, so check them before you travel.
