📣 Traveler notes

Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom located at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Spain to the north. Its population was approximately 34,000 in 2020.

  • The local population is generally friendly to tourists and workers from Spain.
  • Cultural discussions may involve sensitivities regarding political terminology or national identity.
  • Local customs vary, so observing local practices is recommended.
  • When referring to the local people, use 'Gibraltarian' or 'Llanito'. Avoid referring to them as Spanish, as they are proud of their distinct Gibraltarian identity. Be mindful of terms like 'colony', as the local population is highly self-governing.

About this holiday

Gibraltar observes a mix of 'bank holidays' (days when banks and many businesses are closed) and 'public holidays' (days observed by custom and practice).
