GIBRALTAR
“The dialect of Gibraltar is
Llanito, a dialect of
Andalusian Spanish laced
with English, Genoese,
Maltese and Portuguese..”
Gibraltar is a welcome home for any UK expat or
traveller and a “little slice of England” for anyone
coming from further afield. It offers UK high-street
shops as well as smaller boutiques, perfumeries, IT
and gadget shops and a range of delights for any
keen shopper.
For anyone wanting more than shops, the Gibraltar
Museum is a treat – filled to the brim with artefacts,
models, displays and even mummies. There’s also
plenty to keep you entertained including an ice
skating rink, two cinemas screens, ten pin bowling
lanes, an amusement arcade, restaurants and bars
and a gym all housed in King’s Bastion Leisure
Centre and a lovingly restored military fortress that
was once used to defend Gibraltar against invading
forces during the 18th century.
For worship, tranquillity or reflectiveness, visit Kings
Chapel, St Andrews Church, Holy Trinity Cathedral,
The Great Synagogue and the Flemish Synagogue
or Catholic Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned.
