Gibraltar /dʒᵻˈbrɔːltər/ is a British Overseas Territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has an area of 6.7 km2 (2.6 sq mi) and shares its northern border with the Province of Cádiz in Andalusia, Spain. The Rock of Gibraltar is the major landmark of the region. At its foot is a densely populated city area, home to over 30,000 Gibraltarians and other nationalities.
An Anglo-Dutch force captured Gibraltar from Spain in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession on behalf of the Habsburg pretender to the Spanish throne. The territory was subsequently ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. During World War II it was an important base for the Royal Navy as it controlled the entrance and exit to the Mediterranean Sea, which is only eight miles (13 km) wide at this point. Today Gibraltar's economy is based largely on tourism, online gambling, financial services, and shipping.
The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations as Spain asserts a claim to the territory. Gibraltarians overwhelmingly rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and again in 2002. Under the Gibraltar constitution of 2006, Gibraltar governs its own affairs, though some powers, such as defence and foreign relations, remain the responsibility of the Government of the United Kingdom.

British Airways, often shortened to BA, is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom and the largest airline in the United Kingdom based on fleet size. When measured by passengers carried, it is second-largest in United Kingdom (behind easyJet). The airline is based in Waterside near its main hub at London Heathrow Airport.
A British Airways Board was established by the United Kingdom government in 1972 to manage the two nationalized airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporation and British European Airways, and two smaller, regional airlines, Cambrian Airways, from Cardiff, and Northeast Airlines, from Newcastle upon Tyne. On 31 March 1974, all four companies were merged to form British Airways. After almost 13 years as a state company, British Airways was privatised in February 1987 as part of a wider privatisation plan by the Conservative government. The carrier soon expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian in 1987, followed by Dan-Air in 1992 and British Midland International in 2012.
We flew to Gibraltar for one weekend to see how much you can get done in 48 hours. As long as the weather is good, it could be the perfect weekend getaway. However, Gibraltar is notorious for it's unique weather patterns and as we find out, that can lead to delays. Sights include Europa Point, Catalan Bay, Ocean Village, The Rock, St Michaels Cave and of course the Monkeys / apes. Our accommodation, featured in the film, is the 5 star Sunborn Gibraltar Super Yacht.

Gibralter In a place called Gibralter, well known as the rock, Three I.R.A scumbags were counting thier stock, When along came some soldiers, they are Britains best, And thier known the whole world over as the proud S.A.S. And the I.R.A, were blown away, Three corpses were left in Gibralter that day. Well Dublin she was angry, And so was the Doyle, For the bomb in Gibralter the soldiers did foil, For they planned to murder and leave many for dead, But the brave S.A.S put thier gun to thier head. And the I.R.A, were blown away, Three corpses were left in Gibralter that day. That wanker Gerry Adams what a wonderfull sight, Behind an old Tombstone he cowered with fright, The mad yellow provo didn't know what to do, When faced with one Proddy so brave and so true. And the I.R.A, were blo...
Gibraltar Airport is listed as one of the most dangerous Airports in the World. Not at least because of it's only 1777m long runway, but also because of the 4-lane Winston Churchill Road, which crosses the runway. My 4K Video shows Airbus A320 Jets of British Airways with flights from and to London at the Airport including a 'nice' crosswind approach. Captured on 09.04.2016. Der Flughafen von Gibraltar zählt zu den gefährlichsten Flughäfen der Welt. Nicht nur wegen seiner mit 1777m relativ kurzen Start- und Landebahn sondern auch, weil dieses Bahn von einer vierspurigen Hauptverkehrsstraße gekreuzt wird. Mein 4K-Video zeigt Airbus A320 der British Airways mit Flügen von und nach London, einschließlich eines Anflugs mit Seitenwind. Aufnahmen vom 09.04.2016.
Returning the Rock (2002): It's 300 years since Gibraltar was handed over to the British, and controversy has erupted between Spain and Britain once again. This historic report examines why the issue refuses to go away. For downloads and more info visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=9630&bid;=2 The colony of just 6.5. sq km has been in British hands since the early 18th century. It was an important staging post for the Empire, and played a vital role in both world wars. On 14 occasions the rock has come under siege from Spain, but Britain has always clung on to its colony. "Spain has never liked the fact that they lost Gibraltar and have consequently made difficulties" says the Governor of Gibraltar. Now the strategic importance has declined, and with Britain and Spain partners in the E...
The Rock of Gibraltar stands like a fortress at the gateway to the Mediterranean. With its strategic setting, Gibraltar has an illustrious military history and remnants of its martial past are everywhere. But within a generation the economy has gone from one dominated by the military to one based on tourism.

Travel Guide Spain /// Gibraltar Red pillar boxes, fish-and-chip shops and creaky 1970s seaside hotels; Gibraltar – as British writer Laurie Lee once commented – is a piece of Portsmouth sliced off and towed 500 miles south. As with many colonial outposts, ‘the Rock’ overstates its Britishness, a bonus for pub-grub and afternoon-tea lovers, but a confusing double-take for modern Brits who thought their country had moved on since the days of Lord Nelson memorabilia. Poised strategically at the jaws of Europe and Africa, Gibraltar, with its Palladian architecture and camera-hogging Barbary macaques, makes for an interesting break from Cádiz province's white towns and tapas. Playing an admirable supporting role is the swashbuckling local history; lest we forget, the Rock has been British lon...

http://bookinghunter.com Malaga is located in southern Spain, on the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) on the northern side of the Mediterranean Sea. It lies at the feet of the Montes de Malaga, about 100 km east of the Strait of Gibraltar and about 130 km east of Tarifa (the southernmost point of continental Europe) and about 130 km on north of Africa. The most important places to visit in Malaga are: Malaga's Cathedral (is established on the former Great Mosque, after the reconquest in 1528), The Picasso Museum (Malaga is the birth place of the painter Pablo Picasso, he was born in 1881), Roman Theatre (located close to the Alcazaba Fortress, the theatre was used for entertainment for about four centuries now, even though the Moors used some of the remains of the theatre to build some ...
The country has been under the Spanish, Muslim and English rule. You can see the signs of each. Plus some breathtaking views (including the African coast when the weather permits), tame and greedy monkeys, and noisy shoppers. I recommend a Gib Rock Ride that will take you to St.Michael's cave. On the way the driver-guide will tell you everything that's to be said, and much more. Mine was an extremely nice and talkative local patriot.
(Wallen)
Adam et Eve,
Si un navire pour que l'on s'aime
Pleure pas Eve
Y a pas de mal à penser à sa pomme.
(Abd Al Malik)
Adam et Eve, l'idéal, le modèle autour duquel tourne toutes les histoires d'amour
Un arbre au centre depuis la nuit des temps, au commencement était l'amour
Il habite au 5 de la rue Jean Mermoz, elle habite avec ses frères et soeurs, cité des Aviateurs
Ils se sont rencontrés au cours élémentaire, école guy demer 2
Elle avait des yeux au grands coeurs, il avait (il avait) le courage de ces gamins qui ont toujours peurs
21 ans il lâche son gun, les histoires de cam et de keufs pour eux deux, pour ces grands yeux heureux
Il l'aime Eve, il l'aime
Elle aussi, mais elle connaît ses frères Eve, mais elle s'en fout elle l'aime quand même
C'est fou la cité, toute cette diversité, pourtant c'est bien la cité mais faut bouger pour devenir grand
Adam il a cogné avec ses coudes et ses poings, il a planté des coups de couteaux dans les reins, il a tiré avec des balles réelles sur des mecs pour rien
Mais Eve il ne l'a jamais embrassé Eve, il l'a même jamais touché Eve, il lui a dit à l'ancienne je le ferai quand tu seras mienne
(Wallen)
Adam et Eve,
Si un navire pour que l'on s'aime
Pleure pas Eve
Y a pas de mal à penser à sa pomme.
Si la terre des hommes par en sucette, Adam te protège
Adam et Eve,
Si un navire pour que l'on s'aime
(Abd Al Malik)
C'est l'histoire d'Adam et Eve, un gars et un fille qui viennet d'un endroit où ça craint mais eux, ils s'aiment pour de vrai
Et si ils ont ces prénoms c'est peut-être pas pour rien, ils montent dans ce taxi et le monde se ferme derrière eux
Ils montent dans ce taxi et un autre s'ouvre sous leurs yeux
Dans le coffre, à peine deux sacs ont suffi pour ficeler une vie, pour plier les bouts de tissus de mensonges qui disait-on les protègeraient en cas de pluie
Il fait nuit, ils sont censé être endormis, blottis dans les bras tatoués de leurs univers respectifs
Deux alliances comme une pair de mennotes, aux doigts de deux fugitifs pourchassées par des maîtres-chiens de la bêtise qu'ont au bout de leur laisse haine et racisme
Eve, elle s'était imaginé autre chose comme escorte, comme cérémonie, mais l'essentiel c'est qu'elle voyait dans ses yeux qu'elle était sa princesse à lui
Ils s'étaient mariés la veille, Adam et Eve, ils se regardèrent et éclatèrent de rire, Adam et Eve
(Wallen)
Adam et Eve,
Si un navire pour que l'on s'aime
Pleure pas Eve
Y a pas de mal à penser à sa pomme.
Si la terre des hommes par en sucette, Adam te protège
Adam et Eve,
Si un navire pour que l'on s'aime
(Abd Al Malik)
Adam il s'est fait craché à l'oreille parce qu'il s'est marié avec Eve, il s'est fait piétiné le coeur pour elle, Eve
Ils sont devenus père et mère, Q et M
Leur monde c'est pas le jardin d'Eden, mais on supporte tout lorsqu'on s'aime, et franchement y a pas à dire ils sont vraiment croques l'un de l'autre
Chaque soir il rentre comme son père avant lui de cette usine qui lui casse le dos
Ils ont pas une tune, ils ont trois gosses maintenant, mais ils se kiffent pareils
Bon c'est vrai des fois elle se met à rêver d'une autre life mais lui jamais parce qu'il sait que c'est qu'une seule fois qu'un coeur se casse
Le truc d'une autre vie ça à touné quelques temps dans la tête d'Eve, mais elle l'a même quelques fois pleuré à des étrangers autour d'elle
Et c'est ça je crois, je crois c'est ça le serpent de notre histoire
Adam et Eve toutes les love story depuis la nuit des temps sont les variantes d'une même histoire (x2)
Adam et Eve...
