The Mediterranean Steps are located on the Eastern face of the Rock of Gibraltar. The steps begin at an altitude of 180 metres and finishes at an altitude of 426 metres at O’Hara’s Battery which is the highest point on the Rock, where you will be surprised to find two 9.2 Inch guns. The steps are at times steep and often uneven and are actually a flight of stairs that have been cut from the limestone from the Rock of Gibraltar. The sheer height and breath taking views will leave you amazed; it is easy to see why so many choose to scale the heights of the Mediterranean Steps. You will also have a chance to see the stunning flora and fauna that Gibraltar has to offer on this hike!

There are several companies offering their services in guiding you around the Mediterranean steps. A popular company is Barbary Rock Adventures which offer a guided service of the Mediterranean Steps, whether you’re interested in the flora, fauna, or just getting to the top, their expert guides will take you around and give you the experience of a lifetime!

The Rock of Gibraltar is very easy to access and can be done so by taking the Cable Car to the top of the Rock, by taking part in a guided tour, or by venturing out yourself and exploring the Rock. To gain the most from your Gibraltar Rock experience a guided tour is advisable as you and your friends and family will be driven and escorted around the Rock and have the chance to see things that you would not necessarily have seen on your own.

For the ultimate Rock experience book a Gibraltar Rock Tour.  The tours run regularly and are very modestly priced. The booking offices are situated at the Frontier and at the bottom of the Rock.Visiting the Rock of Gibraltar is a memorable experience that everyone will enjoy.

As a result of the Straits being only 13 miles wide at its narrowest point, the concentration of cetaceans is very high, especially so towards the middle. It is about 3 miles offshore that you find the larger examples, such as the Sperm Whales. For some reason most sightings show that they are heading in a westerly direction. The prevailing surface current is easterly and these animals may be just stemming the current flow, and not in fact travelling out of the Straits at that particular time.

The Bay of Gibraltar seems to be a favourite place for nursery schools of Common Dolphins, and it is a very common sight to see baby dolphins accompanied by their mothers who always stay very close to them, rising to the surface a few inches away from each other when coming up to breathe. There are many companies within Gibraltar that offer dolphin and whale tours around the Bay and Straits which are very modestly priced and easy to find! The unique conditions of the Straits and the beautiful whales and dolphins that inhabit it should be taken advantage of, so if you are visiting Gibraltar it would be a great shame not to take a trip to see these wonderful creatures.
