Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a British colony, having been ceded by Spain to England in 1713 (although sovereignty is an issue of contention between the two countries). Gibraltar has enormous historical and military significance; this was the site of the original Moorish incursions into mainland Europe in 711, and commands access to the Mediterranean Sea
Gibraltar is a unique place, complete with Macaque monkeys, its own unique Llanito language (but English is the official language) and British-style pubs.
A trip south and west of Alcoy leads to the famous beaches of the Costa del Sol, the British colony of Gibraltar, and the historic town of Ronda.
Ronda
Ronda is a historical city in the Spanish province of Malaga. It has well-maintained Moorish buildings, and striking scenery with the Rio Guadalquivir running through the city, and three beautiful bridges spanning the canyon.
