Holiday Accommodation Gibraltar Town

Gibraltar Town self-catering holiday accommodation is found close to Iberia’s southern tip, and in ancient times the iconic rock overlooking the town marked the end of the known world. Gibraltar became a British overseas territory in the early-18th Century – a status it has maintained ever since. Although the whole territory is only 6.8 square kilometres in size, there’s more than enough to keep every member of the family entertained during your trip to a Gibraltar Town holiday villa. Firstly there’s all of the appeal of the Mediterranean, and just along the coast from Gibraltar apartments you’ll find Tarifa Beach. This stretch of coast is lapped by some of the best waves in southern Spain, which makes it s hotspot for water sports like surfing and windsurfing.

A tour of the sights around Gibraltar Town self-catering villas is undoubtedly rewarding; the famous caves and tunnels in the rock here date back to the Great Siege by Spanish and French forces in the 18th Century. Some of the tunnels that delve into the rock are incredibly long, and are well worth exploring. On the upper rock, a short walk from Gibraltar holiday apartments you’ll find historic military buildings, as well as a nature reserve that provides a home for the sociable Barbary Macaques. Around the streets close to Gibraltar Town accommodation are a host of excellent restaurants and bars, as well as interesting attractions like the Gibraltar Time Tunnel and the Gibraltar Museum.
