📣 Traveler notes

Gibraltar, known as 'The Rock,' is a British overseas territory located at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Spain to the north. It has a population of approximately 34,000 (as of 2020).

Respect local culture and identity.
Use appropriate terms like 'Gibraltarians'.
Check local notices regarding closures for public and bank holidays.
Expect public services and businesses to potentially close on designated holidays.
When referring to local people, use 'Gibraltarians' or 'Llanito'. Note that while many Gibraltarians speak Spanish, they emphasize their distinct Gibraltarian identity. Avoid using the term 'colony', as Gibraltar is self-governing. Generally, the relationship with Spanish individuals is civil and improving.

About this holiday

Gibraltar uses 'bank holidays' and 'public holidays' for closures. Bank holidays typically affect financial institutions and businesses, while public holidays are observed through local custom.
