#Gibraltar #Rock #Monkeys
This place is so beautiful
I can still remember everything since I visited it
I’m from Gibraltar 🇬🇮
What is your language and Nationality?
Go back to your shitty island
@@zemriiganiu9910 we speak English and Spanish. we are British by citizenship. but that's on paper, we're actually gibraltarian.
@@jnick6 I would like to have private conversation with you concerning Gibraltar
We climbed the Mediterranean steps in August 86 it was sweltering - they were decommissioning O'Hara's Battery big gun on the top and were really surprised to see as we decided to climb the last 30ft rock face - they said we shouldn't be there really then gave us a quick tour : )
Love Gibraltar! The monkeys were so fun. Was there back in 2014, thanks so much for the tour, brought back lots of fun memories!
Oh that’s wonderful to hear! Yeh, how fun are the monkeys 🐒 😂 Did your Gibraltar experience differ much from ours? I hope it’s a help to travellers visiting for the first time!!!!
@@KristinasTravels It was pretty similiar, though it was a clearer day. I just remember lots of climbing and lots of monkeys..haha! I think you did a great job showing of the rock. Happy Travels to you both!
I live there and I agreed with your partner about jumping off the side onto the road below to avoid the macaque😂
I’m from Gibraltar and it’s not called monkeys it’s called macaque
I was in the Brittish Army in the late 1970s to the early 1980s and I was stationed in Gib for 2 years and we used to run up the Med Steps and yes they are steap and sometimes uneven, but the views are incredible.
Wow - epic! Thank you so much for sharing your story. Wonderful 🙂🙂 and what a work out! 💪
Greetings from Hong Kong. Gibraltar is an amazing place to be. Seeing your video is like being there.
You should go visit
I lived in LaLinea in 1986 and worked in Gibraltar. Would love to go back for a visit.
These spanish landscapes are awesome!!!
Oh my, god very video of yours has beautiful music. I can’t get over it 🥰
Awesome video 👍🏻 Putting this one on the bucket list!
Yay! 😄👏🏼
I’ve been there this year and it’s a ✨Gorgeous✨ place to visit my favourite animal is a monkey but I was actually pretty scared to see the monkeys bc they’re just there living they’re life 😂 😊
Ohhh! I’m so glad you were able to visit this year - how lucky!!!! Thank you so much for the love ❤️ Your support really means so much during these tough times. Stay safe and thank you again for being part of travel community and your contribution! ✨ x
I’m from Gibraltar I was born there and I’m here right now and they are not called monkeys they are called macaques
Thanks for the video, I think I'll visit it next year😉
I really want to come here on my next trip!
🇨🇦🔜🇬🇮

Global Travel Guides the feeling is mutual! 🙏
So kind. Thank you x
Imagine the engineers that built all this in the 18th century. Amazing stuff.
I live in Gibraltar and I actually live up the rock and if you take bananas up the rock, they will definitely steal them, and the skywalk is actually really nice and I always go up the rock and it’s an amazing place✨
Can't wait to do the tourist thing on Gibraltar. Got married there last year and want to go back for a visit. Great video. ❤
I’m from Gibraltar it’s the coolest I was born there and I’m there and you should visit it’s the best pls visit
@@kathysanchez29 We intend to. As soon as life spares us a minute or two.
Awesome. Think I’ll do the rock over two days, one day looks a bit full on, looks a long trek between the southern rock and the tunnels at the north end. Probably not what you want to be doing after trudging up the Med Steps?
I was there September 2021, amazing place for history buffs and guns guns guns. St Michael's Cave is amazing with the new light show. M&S as well 👍🇬🇧
Why do the makers of videos such as this persist in referring to the Barbary Apes as Monkeys? They are Apes. They are no more monkeys than lions are tigers or dogs are wolves.
Because they are two narcissistic adolescents who could care less about the"monkeys" in their_ video. Where are they from? Too Superficial for me !
Who gives a shit if one is in the way it'll still get a boot up the primate ass 🤣
I’ve actually been on caminito del Rey
Great vids keep up the amazingggggggggggg work
So nobody asks about the name's origin ? (History lesson time yaaay)
Fun fact it has been called many names during history but Jabel Tareq for the Moroccan general who took it initially endured the centuries until the Spaniards latter turned it into Gibraltar when they took back the peninsula from north Africans....
Hi Amazing channel, glad I have subscribed. Nice to meet you. Name is Ray(Floatwithme) a Dutch composer. Keep up that amazing work. Cheers Ray :)
Ohhh thank you so much! ❤️ Oh how wonderful - thanks for connecting! 👏🏼
I visit Gibraltar since 1995, almost every year. In the past it was allowed go with own car up the mountain. These days only owners of proporties on the mountain and taxi drivers are allowed with car on the mountain.
Hey :) Great video! Thinking about taking a day trip to Gibraltar from Malaga, just a quick question, how long did all of it take you?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Lula! We crossed the border at around 10am and left at around 6pm. This wasn’t long enough! Mind you, we didn’t have a car, we crossed the border on foot, got a bus to the cable car and then walked up the rock via the Mediterranean Steps. I would recommend crossing the border early!! Because, in our case, by the time we finished walking up the Mediterranean steps it was around midday - maybe later!!! 😬😬😬
Med steps. Wonderful trek
That glass on the skywalk has been broken for ages. Was like that when I went in 2018!
😟😮😮 wow!!
i only paid in gbp in gib its actually cheaper than paying in euros. for me as i am from the uk
Bellissimo video 😍
GREAT video. Planning a trip to Andalusia in Oct and will visit The Rock. How much time is needed in Gibraltar? We will be driving from Malaga so that will eat up about 2 hrs. Is a half day enough time?
I’m from Gibraltar too
Incredible -- whats it like to live there?!
@@KristinasTravels it cool
it's hard to understand why you have only 500 views
Awww! Thanks for your kind words! It was only uploaded 12 days ago... Getting there! 😊🙈 My little channel is growing everyday, so thank you so much for your support. Means a lot. Fingers crossed it will have 5,000 before too long 😘👍🏼
If you're British, do you need a passport to get to Gibraltar from the UK?
Good question.. you may need to look that up! haha! Keep us posted on what you find!
Yes British need a passport not a visa
From a British citizen
Hi friend i like your video and like you so much we may be good
nice click ❤️
11 kilometers is so far.
Hi Kristina, love your vlogs. What's the best way to get Gibraltar from Malaga. We r going to Malaga next month
By car
Was at Gibraltar during my 10-day cruise ship trip, but never had a chance to see the Barbary Macaques because we didn't have much time & some of our group members have issues, which pisses me off that I wanted to hate them for good!😠 Besides, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS MY FEELINGS!!! AND I WISH THAT A GIRL OF MY DREAMS WOULD COMFORT ME!!!😠 ROOOOAAARRRRRR!!! (Angry Megalosaurus roar, while devouring every Barbary Macaque up on the mountain)🦖
Did you see morroco, Africa continent from the top of the mountain ....?
I’m from Gibraltar but I’ve never been on the Mediterranean steps but gib is the coolest country and it has the biggest rock and the monkey you saw it was not a monkey it’s called a macaque
Great video! I heard it the guy said Euros, is it not pounds in Gibraltar???
They use both actually! 🙀🙀

Hi guys I’m from Gibraltar I was born there and I’m here right now and the monkeys are called macaque and there bites are poisonous so don’t feed them and don’t bring bags on the rock btw it’s the biggest rock IN THE WORLD

More than likely if your not British or from Gibraltar
Hi
Hi! 🙋♀️ Thanks for the love and support! ☺️
Love you too 💞
I have seen them bite...not one bite...when they bite expect teeth like daggers and multiple bite. And maybe the others join in...
british people arent that bad...
@@Heneling Not met me Julie. :)
Jon, you sent Kristina ahead of you with the monkey’s 🤯😂 I hope she gave you a hard time for that. Shame on you sir!
Lol! 😂 I’m a tough cookie 😜
Why are you two no married to each other? Senseless.
How can I tag John in this post? 😅🤣😂
@@KristinasTravels
Marriage, in my opinion, is the apex of travel and discovery.
“Marriage is also a perpetual state of forgiveness” - Pope Benedict XVI
Plus, your children would be stunningly beautiful, and could travel the world with you in the not to distant future.
Patty and I will be watching and waiting.
God Bless you.
GIBRALTAR, this is where ZAHID, from north AFRICA came & built ISLAAM ( MASJIDS) in SEVILLE, CORDOBA & other southern SPAIN. MUSLIM ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES STILL IS THE REMINDER OF HOW MUSLIMS WERE RULERS OF SPAIN. AS TIME WENT MUSLIMS FORGOT ALLAH & prayers. ALLAH MADE THEM FORGET THEMSELVES. MOST OF MUSLIMS BECAME CHRISTIAN & started to live as THEM. ONLY TO REMIND THAT CREATION OF ADAM & EVE can be changed. SURPRISINGLY!

Did you actually do this voiceover in your closet 😂
Closet Disrespectful , Superficial tourists who think they are great vloggers.
😳😳
Wow. Scathing.
Sorry you’ve made that opinion of us.
Please explain
@@KristinasTravels You even type like an english woman.
