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 is frequently in the world press and media.
Gibraltar is connected to the Spanish mainland by a sandy isthmus, and by ferry to Morocco. The subject of repeated conquest and sieges Gibraltar has been a British Territory since 1704. It was ceeded under the Treaty of Utrecht. Since 1973 it is part of the EU under the British accession.
The locally elected Government of Gibraltar has created a solid economy, which in a modern Europe 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.
