So, I'll give ypu some fun facts about Gibraltar 🇬🇮: . In Gibraltar they speak 3 languages: English, Spanish and Llanito. And now you are probably wondering what the f*ck is llanito. It is a form of spanish heavily influenced by English. For example "Te llamo pa' trás" is the literal translation into Spanish of the English phrase " I'll call you back". . Gibraltar is a key spot for the Royal Navy. It played an important role during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. During this battle the British navy defeated the combined fleets of Spain and France. The British casualties were 1,666 men, while the Spanish and French casualties were over 15,000 men. . Gibraltar is the only place in Europe with wild monkeys. There's a legend that says that as long there are macaques in Gibraltar, it will remain under British rule. There's another legend that says the monkeys arrived in here through a passage on the cave of the Rock of Gibraltar. People thought it was connected with Africa. . There's a story about a colonel and an officer who got lost in St. Michael's Cave (the cave in the Rock of Gibraltar). They descended to the cave in 1840 and were never seen again. This story led to several expeditions but no trace of the missing officers was ever discovered, remaining all this in a mystery until today. Did the macaques eat them? We will never know. 🐒 . Gibraltar looks very British, except that they drive in the right side (luckily 😉) . The strategic importance of Gibraltar increased when in 1869 the Canal of Suez opened. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, allowing watercrafts and ships to go from the North Atlantic Ocean to the North Indian Ocean, which reduces the trip for about 8,900 kms (5,500 miles). . . . . #gibraltar #britain #unitedkingdom #europe #eurotrip #traveling #travelholic #travelawesome #mytravelgram #travelblogger #travelling #traveltheworld #travel #travellingthroughtheworld #traveladdict #traveller #travels #travelphotography #travelblog #travelers #traveldeeper #instatravel #backpack #vacations #travelingram #backpacking #travelgram #travelpic #travelpics #holidays (at Gibraltar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCk2c3lDMWy/?igshid=1ktt7d5pxrvrn
