📣 Traveler notes

Gibraltar is a UK overseas territory situated at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Spain to the north and Morocco to the south. As of 2020, the territory had a population of 34,000.

  • The relationship between Gibraltar and Spain is stable, and local residents do not generally show animosity towards Spanish tourists or workers.
  • The area is subject to cross-border interaction, facilitated by the 2006 Córdoba Agreement.
  • Local people refer to themselves as Gibraltarian or 'Llanito'. While many speak Spanish, Gibraltarians are sensitive about being referred to as Spanish due to their strong local identity. The term 'colony' is sensitive to the local population, as it is perceived as implying a lack of self-government.

About this holiday

Gibraltar National Day, observed on September 10, marks the anniversary of Gibraltar's first sovereignty referendum in 1967. The vote asked Gibraltarian voters to choose between Spanish or British sovereignty with local self-government.
