Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: A colossal limestone promontory rises sharply from the sea, marking a strategic point where Europe meets Africa. Over 1,000 Barbary macaques inhabit the rock, the only wild monkey population on the European continent.
Kohokohdat: Walking the upper corridors reveals hidden wartime tunnels stretching for over 50 kilometers, offering a surreal labyrinth experience. At sunset, the panoramic views stretch across the Mediterranean and the African coast, casting golden hues over the iconic Strait.
