feel English, despite the red phone boxes at every turn.\u00a0The town itself is basically a giant duty free shop. If you can imagine the duty free shopping area at London Heathrow as an open air mall, you&#8217;d be pretty close to what the main drag of Gibraltar is like. The service workers were mostly Spanish; I actually had to use Spanish more in Gibraltar than any other location since I&#8217;d left Granada at that point.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-499 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/pxl8.es\/index.php\/2016\/06\/09\/crossing-the-line-gibraltar-and-la-linea-de-la-concepcion\/img_2650\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2650-225x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Red Phone Box\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2650-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2650-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2650-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2650.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-510'>\n\t\t\t\tThis red phone box was immediately outside of Gibraltar&#8217;s passport control.

When I found out the cable car was closed due to the wind, I didn&#8217;t feel up for walking both up and down the Rock, so I did a &#8220;taxi tour&#8221; instead. This had the added benefit that I actually met a\u00a0<em>llanito<\/em> (Gibraltarian).<\/p>\n<p>The view from the top was amazing. It still blows my mind that you can actually see Africa. The day I went up had a lot of haze between the two continents, but I could still clearly make out the opposite shore.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-499 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/pxl8.es\/index.php\/2016\/06\/09\/crossing-the-line-gibraltar-and-la-linea-de-la-concepcion\/img_2700\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Africa\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2700.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-525'>\n\t\t\t\tAfrica (as seen from the Rock of Gibraltar)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/pxl8.es\/index.php\/2016\/06\/09\/crossing-the-line-gibraltar-and-la-linea-de-la-concepcion\/img_1485\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485-300x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Panaroma from the Rock of Gibraltar\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485-300x90.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485-768x229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485-1024x306.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485-600x179.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pxl8.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_1485.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-508'>\n\t\t\t\tPanaroma from the Rock of Gibraltar.
