Windsor Suspension Bridge: Sky-High Thrills

Designed for adventurers, the Windsor Suspension Bridge anchors Gibraltar’s Upper Rock as a daredevil’s paradise. Built in 2016, this steel-and-wood structure sways gently above jagged cliffs, framing vistas of Morocco’s coastline. Pair it with the Mediterranean Steps for a full-day hike ending at the Rock’s summit. Local guides often share tales of its construction, a feat blending modern engineering with ancient geology. Pro tip: Visit at sunset when the bridge glows amber, and the macaques retreat to their dens.

History Alive: Fortresses & Secrets

Gibraltar’s past beats through its stone. Explore the World War II Tunnels, a labyrinth carved by British soldiers, or stand beneath Moorish Castle’s battlements, built in 711 AD. The City Under Siege Exhibition unveils how locals endured the Great Siege (1779–1783), while Europa Point’s lighthouse—operational since 1841—guards ships entering the Mediterranean. Fun fact: The Rock’s underground network stretches over 50 kilometres. Recent investments in northern defences, like the 16th-century Charles V Wall, merge preservation with innovation.

Mediterranean Steps: Hike Through Time

The Mediterranean Steps, a steep ascent from Jew’s Gate to O’Hara’s Battery, wind through Gibraltar’s ecological mosaic. Wild olive trees and dwarf fan palms line the path, while peregrine falcons circle overhead. At the peak, Europe’s southernmost cannon once guarded against naval invasions. Hikers often spot migratory birds—Gibraltar lies on the African-Eurasian flyway. Post-climb, refuel with calentita, a chickpea flatbread sold at street stalls since the 1700s.
