Om
Raske fakta: 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.
Høydepunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven paths and stairs.
- Photograph the colony of Barbary macaques near the upper rock for memorable wildlife shots.
- Skip the busiest mid-day period by arriving either before 10 AM or after 4 PM.
- Bring sun protection as much of the trail is exposed with little shade.
