Rock of Gibraltar!!!

The next day we got up early, left our bags at the hotel, and walked to Gibraltar. Which is an autonomous city, officially a British Overseas Territory. But it's not really technically a part of Great Britain... We were told this is because that way they can skirt around British banking laws. Apparently, Gibraltar is a very wealthy city run by bankers.

Anyway, since we only had a few hours until our bus to Seville, we took the gondola to the top and hiked around. The Rock of Gibraltar is known for its macaque monkeys, which are everywhere! But they are mean and like to bite. I tried to avoid them.
