Does any body know that where the name "GIBRALTAR" has come from? it has come from an Arabic word " Jabal At Tariq" which means the mountain of Tariq. Tariq was a Muslim army commander who conquered this mountain in 7th century.

It's all about location and Gibraltar has it .As also the sights and the scenery . Small but atmospheric it's home away from home for the locals.
This is on my bucket list.
I live there 😀
Going in December, Can't wait!!!!
Just reading a book on the siege of Gibraltar. I guess this is why the UK lost the US revolution. Little known battle during same time period.
It's amazing greetings from mexico
I hope that in one day, Gibraltar will return to Spain like Hong Kong returned to China.
Nice video.
It resembles the city of Bejaia
nice
