At the tip of the Iberian Peninsula, with Spanish neighbours and views over the Mediterranean, is the British Territory of Gibraltar. Ceded to Great Britain at the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, it has remained proudly British. Less than 3sq Miles – it is small, but still boasts it own Port and Airport. Small may be, but it has established its own unique character and economy…. and is very proud of its history. Very British…but dare I say with a touch of Spain and a good deal of Mediterranean flavour.
Wherever you are today. enjoy…and as always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
