Spain- Volume 5

The Rock of Gibraltar

The rock of Gibraltar was just about an hour away from our Marriott in Estepona. It's called one of the legs of Hercules. They believe, according to their Greek mythology, that after Hercules was done creating the world (something like that????) that he collapsed and this is one of his legs.

There were wild baboons all over the rock. They feed them so they stay there in that habitat. They are all named and have little biographies on the wall. One was said to have had "a weight problem b/c she likes junk food too much". I can totally relate.

From the look-out point.

These signs were hilarious. It depicts a stupid tourist thinking the baboon is so cute and petting it. Then the unsuspecting tourist gets taken advantage of and the baboon takes the bag of the tourist. True story ya'll. We saw it happen. They were very aggressive. Scary aggressive.

Here we are leaving Gibraltar. You can see all three flags here...Gibraltar flag, British flag and Spanish flag. The Rock of Gibraltar is a holding of Spain's and you have to have your passport to go. Its this tiny little part of Britain on Spain. They have fish n chips restaurants and the whole nine yards.
