Gibraltar

This is a picture of me in Gibraltar, a tiny British enclave attached to Southern Spain. I visited here in 1999 with my parents on out tour of Spain and Portugal. It was quite a surprise going from all the Spanish food we'd been eating to the British Pub Grub style fare we had in Gibraltar. The Pillars of Hercules legend featured in the signs in from the ancient Greeks, who used the phrase to describe the two promontories that mark the Straits of Gibraltar. The Rock of Gibraltar is the northern pillar, the southern pillar is disputed, either being in the Spanish enclave of Cueta, or Northeastern Morocco.
