Firstly - make sure you remember your passport as there is a passport control! Gibraltar is quite a grim looking place, but there are 2 very good reasons to visit.

It was good to see the apes up close but make sure you aren't holding any food that they can see as they will steal it. Generally they won't approach you unless they think you have something for them. some even pose for the camera.

Easy to do this on your own without a special rock tour - go up on cable car and wander round.

You see the Apes everywhere so the den isnt a necessity. Watch out for your backback as they will try to take things from it.

This is a highlight and something that everyone should do at least once! There is just something about seeing apes in the wild in Southern Europe!

What a day - If you are looking for something to do, make your way up the rock to the apes den. Don't forget to go into the caves. EXCELLENT day spent here. No complaints at all. A must do when in Gibraltar. *Don't feed the monkeys... the fine is stiff and they do bite. (smile)
