  2. Where did you get the "bridge" from?

    The Rock of Gibraltar is located at the entrance of the Mediterranean. Its strategic location and history have made it an international symbol of solidity and strength, and it frequently features in the world press and media.

    Gibraltar is connected to Spain by a sandy isthmus, a ferry to Morocco and flights to London. The subject of repeated conquest and sieges, Gibraltar has been a British Territory since 1704. Ceded forever to Britain by Spain in the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), Gibraltar joined the EU in 1973, under the British Treaty of Accession.

    The locally elected Government of Gibraltar has created a solid economy. In a modern Europe, this has its base in Offshore finance, shipping, tourism and the Internet rather than the military past. There is, however, much of that for the tourist to see, along with the famous apes.
