Average temperatures during the summer range from 25 – 30 degrees, with sea temperatures peaking at around 23 degrees. As you can imagine, Gibraltar’s weather is one of its major attractions, and the place can get busy during the summer months. Heading out in the slightly cooler spring or autumn will see fewer queues and crowds and temperatures that are still pleasant.

Gibraltar enjoys all year round sunshine tempered by the cool breezes from North Africa. Two winds embrace The Rock, each bringing different meteorological characteristics. The first comes from the east and brings a humidity factor that sometimes covers the top of the rock with cloud, and the second from the west brings clear and dry weather.

Dolphin Watching – Dolphins seem to love the Gibraltar and use the area waterways as a nursery. It’s not at all uncommon to see them playing with their mothers in the waters around Gibraltar.

Catalan Bay – A small village that is on the eastern side of Gibraltar, used by Genoese men who had come in to repair the ships of the British Fleet.

The cable car -The cable car brings you from the town center (close to the Botanical Gardens) to the top of the rock. On top, there is little else than a viewpoint and a little shop, but it can be the starting point for your day on the rock.
