Legend has it that the Cave of San Miguel has no bottom and passes under the Strait until it reaches Africa and that it was this path that the primates followed until they reached the Rock. Whether it is so or not, the Rock of Gibraltar is the only place in Europe where you can see monkeys in freedom, and the matter is quite curious. There are many warnings about the monkeys along the route: don\u2019t feed them, don\u2019t look them in the eye, don\u2019t bother them, don\u2019t take flash photos of them etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saint_Michaels_Cave\"><\/span>Saint Michael\u2019s Cave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16922\" alt=\"Flag of Gibraltar\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-630x420.jpg 630w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16922\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc.jpg\" alt=\"Flag of Gibraltar\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/flag-of-gibraltar-2022-08-01-04-07-48-utc-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The first thing to visit is Saint Michael\u2019s Cave which we access with the bracelet that they have given us at the main ticket office. The bracelet has a QR code with which you can access all the spaces of the rock. Yes, and it is that Gibraltar has a lot of interesting things beyond the typical monkeys that we all know. In the Cave of San Miguel nature has made filigrees there and has turned a humid and dark space into one of the main attractions of Gibraltar. The visit impresses, not only because of the space, which is magnificent, but also because there is a sound and light show mounted, called The Awakening.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upper_Rock_of_Gibraltar\"><\/span>Upper Rock of Gibraltar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16924\" alt=\"View on Gibraltar rock on sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-630x420.jpg 630w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16924\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc.jpg\" alt=\"View on Gibraltar rock on sunset\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/view-on-gibraltar-rock-on-sunset-2021-09-04-09-06-23-utc-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The mere fact of climbing to the rock on foot supposes a considerable sum of kilometers. Don\u2019t worry, you can get there by taxi, by funicular and even by bus. All this, of course, will mean an additional cost to your visit, but you will do it in a more comfortable way. In our opinion, the best way to explore the Nature Reserve is on foot, but you can do whatever you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pillars_of_Hercules_in_Gibraltar\"><\/span>Pillars of Hercules in Gibraltar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16921\" alt=\"Aerial view over city of Gibraltar\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-633x420.jpg 633w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16921\" src=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view over city of Gibraltar\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lets-travel-more.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aerial-view-over-city-of-gibraltar-2022-02-04-05-10-06-utc-633x420.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>From there you access the Nature Reserve, which will be where you will buy the tickets, but from there \u2013 and on a clear day \u2013 you will be able to see Africa.\u00a0 On the other hand, the Pillars of Hercules refer to the\u00a0mythical image of the columns held by Hercules, which were located in the Strait of Gibraltar, between Europe and Africa.
