| GIBRALTAR
Gibraltar is a large karstic cape jutting from the southern
tip of Spain, where Europe meets Africa. Dominated by its
striking monolith (‘The Rock’), Gibraltar is just 5 kilometres
in length, but contains some 143 caves, around 50km of roads,
and miles of tunnel. Gibraltar’s history begins in ancient
Greek mythology, when it was known as one of the Pillars of
Hercules. Legend has it that Hercules pushed the rock with his
- well, Herculean strength - from Mount Acho in Morocco to
pinpoint the end of the Mediterranean. In the beginning of the
1700s it was relinquished to the British Crown. Despite
numerous attempts by the Spanish to regain it, Gibraltar has
remained a British colony ever since,

Gibraltar is home to Europe’s only colony of wild indigenous
ape species, the Barbary ape. In all accuracy, the primates
are not in fact apes but macaque monkeys without their tails –
