The Gibraltar Rock is a famous military fortress that has played imporant parts in the warfare history, also during the second world war. It is also famous for the airport runway that is crossed by the road going to the Spanish border and for being one of the pillars of Hercules in Greek mythology. But maybe most of all, it is famous for its monkey colony, the only one in Europe.
I spent a day hiking along the many paths on the top of the Rock and met many monkeys along the road. One even managed to steal a doughnut from my backpack.
