The Rock of Gibraltar always appears dramatically by land, sea and air for first time visitors.....the sharp turn of the passenger aircraft bringing to view its western slopes and upper town area is breathtaking and exhilarating as the wings dip into a sharp turn before landing on its small runway. The Rock getting larger as you sail into port from either the Atlantic or the Mediterranean is truly unforgettable. It is easy to see why this is such an important military and tourist port. By road, the huge limestone rock will always impress you as you turn a corner and see it up close for the first time.
