From Cádiz: Private Day Trip to Gibraltar and Bolonia

2. From Cádiz: Private Day Trip to Gibraltar and Bolonia

Benefit from pick-up in Cádiz, Jerez, Chiclana, El Puerto de Santa María or Rota, and then journey by air-conditioned minivan to the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, home to the only wild macaques ("barbary apes") in Europe. Although free to move throughout the city, they're usually found in the limestone rocks of the Peñón de Gibraltar (Rock of Gibraltar), and according to superstition, if the monkeys ever leave the rock then so will the British! An important city during Roman times, Gibraltar has preserved its old town charm, and blends scenic splendor with a modern vibe. While the 426-meter high Rock of Gibraltar looking across the straits to Africa is the main sight, other attractions include the Gibraltar Museum, where the territory's swashbuckling history is brought to life. Take a stroll along Main Street to see the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Crowned and the official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar at The Convent You will also visit the ruins of the Roman city of Baelo Claudia, located about 22 kilometers northwest of Tarifa off the Cádiz to Gibraltar road. Prosperous at the time of Emperor Claudius, the city went into decline hastened by earthquakes, and was completely abandoned by the 6th century. Situated next to Bolonia Beach, considered one of the 5 most beautiful beaches in Spain, the archaeological site preserves the most representative elements of a typical Roman city. The main attraction of Bolonia Beach is its dune. At over 30 meters high and 200 meters wide, it is set in an inlet within the Estrecho Nature Park, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. From the Bolonia-Faro Camarinal Trail, the views of the broad beach of golden sand, popular with surfers, is truly spectacular.

our driver guide, although it was not planned, explained everything in French when he knew that we were French-speaking. very well organized and very interesting visit with the archaeological site in the morning which we visit quietly with many explanations then a free meal in Vejer followed by a visit with a local English-speaking guide.

The beaches are very beautiful, nothing to say

It was good but you have to focus on the beaches and not waste time visiting other things. Lunch can be taken at the beach or a sandwich. It all depends on how old you are. Still remains very expensive.

Wonderful day trip. Our guides were friendly and informative - nothing was too much trouble. They took us to places we would never have got to on our own. And even booked us a table for lunch.

Guide: very good, easy going, told a lot of interesting things. Driver: very good Our individual wishes were taken into account in all cases.

This was a fantastic tour, of course, Gabriela, our tour guide, made it even better than expected!
