Tim and I had twenty-four hours in Gibraltar between Christmas and New Year so I thought I'd share with you some information about its history, as well as some photos.

You can see a photo of the Charles V Wall going up the rock at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_V_Wall.
Thanks for the lovely pictures, Claire. Were you there to claim it for Britain or Spain?
Ha! I think it should remain British as it is just so British and is also used by the military. Plus the citizens want to remain British.
Thanks for talk Claire, I’m going to Gibraltar for a day trip in April. I must admit it is not one of the must sights to see for me, but your talk has me changing my mind about that. So I will be looking forward to seeing the sites. Your photos are goood too.
