I'm afraid that I have to agree with Plasmo. I first went to Gibralter many years ago. Then it had character, atmospjhere, and good beaches. At the time, the crossing between Gibralter ajnd Spaiin was closed, but there were quite a few North Africann shops, and restaurants. Now it is unfortunately almost like a building site in parts, & the Main Street is just full of duty free shops, all selling the same products at the same prices. There are a few bright spots - the Riock Hotel is the main one - it is wonderful! There are only 2 other hotels on the iisland, but they are no match for the Rock. There is also a very goood Italian restaurant off Main Street, but it only opens untill 6.00pm. The nightlife is usually only in the "English" pubs. Sorry I cant be more positive. If it is your 1st visit, its just OK, but I've now been 2 or 3 times, and the last time was so bad, I'm afraid I wont be back.
Hopefully someone will give you some more positive views. The last time I was there was 2004 - it might well be better now.
