Board your motorcoach and discover Gibraltar's main sights as you head across the island's unique airport runway to the Spanish boarder. You'll pass such points of interest as the American War memorial and Trafalgar Cemetery. Your drive continues east, just below the magnificent North Face of the "Rock" which soars 1,200 feet in height. Ahead lays Catalan Bay, where Genoese immigrants settled during the Napoleonic Wars.

The first thing to catch your eye on Europa Point is the beautiful, red and white striped lighthouse that dominates the landscape. Situated at the gateway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean on Europe's most southerly point, the lighthouse stands proudly over the area and is visible for miles. First lit in 1941, the lighthouse was a welcome addition for sailors who knew the difficulty of maneuvering around Gibraltar Bay. Sharing the grounds is the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe, another important monument for the sailors. Before the lighthouse was built, it was the glow from within this little chapel which would guide them. Coexisting on the site is the most southerly mosque in Europe, Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque. Given as a gift in 1997 from the late King Fahd Al-Saud, this lovely domed mosque is also a school, library and meeting hall.

The culmination of the tour will be a visit to the 5* Luxury Yacht hotel "the Sunborn", where you will be treated to true Gibraltarian hospitality. Enjoy a cup of tea, a selection of sandwiches, freshly baked scones, Cornish clotted cream, and strawberry jam.
Enjoy refreshments before you embark on your return drive to the ship.
