📣 Traveler notes

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

  • Respect local terminology regarding identity (Gibraltarian/Llanito).
  • Understand the cultural sensitivity around using terms like 'colony.'
  • Note that local residents are generally friendly towards Spanish tourists and workers.
  • Local identity is strongly connected to their British affiliation.
  • Be aware that the relationship with Spain has improved significantly since the 2006 Cordoba Agreement.
  • Local residents prefer to be referred to as Gibraltarian or 'Llanito.' While many speak Spanish, they are sensitive about being referred to as Spanish due to strong cultural identity. Be mindful of the term 'colony,' as it can be sensitive.
