Monkey see, monkey do…especially in Gibraltar. Don’t mind these wild animals – they’ve been here longer than some of Gibraltar’s residents. These Barbary macaques – the only wild monkeys in Europe – have free roam around the rock since the British claimed Gibraltar from Spain in 1713. Legend has it that when the monkeys leave the island, Gibraltar will go back being a Spanish colony. Book a flight to Gibraltar to see them for yourself.
Board a connecting flight to Gibraltar from the UK and explore the islands alongside hundreds of monkeys roaming the rock. The Rock of Gibraltar symbolizes many things to many people. In ancient Rome and Greece, the rock was one of the two pillars of Hercules. During World War II, the rock was used as a harboring point for British soldiers. Throughout centuries, nothing has been able to break the rock. Today, the Rock of Gibraltar symbolizes strength and unity – “as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar” refers to a person or situation that cannot fail. Book a flight to Gibraltar for a rock solid trip.
