We spent our fourth day in Gibraltar after visiting Playa Bolonia and Tarifa the previous day. It's funny to walk across the landing strip of the airport and to see the typical telephone box that you can see in London.
We also enjoyed a lot the impressive views of Gibraltar from the Top of the Rock while the apes were moving around us. Finally we walked along the main street. This shopping street, similar to the shopping street of Andorra, led us to Ocean Village, one of the most exclusive areas of Gibraltar.
