📣 Traveler notes
Gibraltar, an overseas British territory at the entrance to the Mediterranean, is bordered by Spain to the north and Morocco to the south. The population was recorded at 34,000 in 2020.
- Gibraltar's culture and identity are distinct, having strong ties to the United Kingdom.
- The relationship with Spain is managed by the 2006 Cordoba Agreement.
- Public holidays follow UK national rules for recognition and celebration.
- Gibraltarians prefer to be referred to as 'Gibraltarian' (or 'Llanito') rather than Spanish, as they are deeply proud of their distinct identity. Avoid using the term 'colony,' as it is sensitive due to its historical connotations. While Spanish tourists and workers are common, treat local Spanish individuals with respect, as there is no general animosity from Gibraltarians towards them.
