Day trips
British overseas territory
About 130 km from Almuñécar — roughly 1 hour 45 minutes by car. A completely different world: British phone boxes, duty-free shops and the Mediterranean's only wild monkey troop, all in the shadow of the 426-metre-high Rock.
Cable car to the top with views of both Spain and Africa on a clear day.
Europe's only wild monkey troop lives on the upper part of the Rock — watch your bags and bags of food.
Impressive stalactite cave, used as a concert hall and a former military hospital.
British shopping without VAT, in the middle of a Spanish-speaking region.
