Gibraltar, an overseas territory of the UK, is located at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Spain to the north and Morocco to the south. The population was 34,000 in 2020.

• Understand that Gibraltarians maintain a strong sense of local and British identity.
• Be mindful of sensitive historical terminology regarding the territory's status.
• Recognize that interaction with Spanish people is generally positive, even when discussing complex political issues.
• Use the local term 'Gibraltarian' (or 'Llanito') when referring to people from Gibraltar. While many speak Spanish, locals are sensitive about being categorized solely as Spanish due to strong local identity. Avoid using terms like 'colony'; while Spanish relations are sometimes discussed, there is no general animosity between Gibraltarians and Spanish visitors.
