I've not stayed in a hotel in Gib personally. Architecture generally isn't Gib's forté. I went into a hotel opposite M&S once, can't remember the name, but it was nice inside. Read More

Gibraltar is really quite small. If you were to go to one of the hotels off Main Street, like the Bristol, then you'll be about 15 to 20 mins walking to Victoria Stadium. The Rock is quite nice and reasonably priced, but is a little further down ... Read More

Relocating to Gibraltar - what is the cockroach situation there? by JAPBnowM
Hi everyone. Me, hubby and two children are considering relocating to Gibraltar from Hertfordshire, UK . We have been toying with the idea for many months and think that we would be very contented with the way of life Gib offers. We are ...
On the ape issue, I've only seen a pair of well behaved apes off the rock once in two months. And it wasn't in a busy area like the city centre. There are cockroaches, sorry. I don't see them that often though, and they tend to run away. Read More

Hi, Does anyone have tips for cheap and reliable transport to Malaga airport or trainstation? The taxiservice I found costs 120 euro one-way and there is no direct bus? thanks!

Hello there! I've just learn that I won't be able to keep my current UK NatWest bank account on Gib and will have to open a new one. Does anybody know, what the Gib NatWest require to open it? ( what kind of documents, etc..) Many ...
That's odd. Since I moved to Gib, I've changed my contact details with Natwest to a Gibraltar address and telephone number and they were fine with it. When I went to the Natwest here, they did say that they operate separately. But they ... Read More

I'm not sure where this is exactly, but if you're near the school (North of the rock??) then you're well positioned for a short walk to the Mediterranean beaches, to Ocean Village and Marina Bay for nice bars and restaurants, to Spain ... Read More

I tried a spinach pie today from the Gibraltar Confectionery Shop opposite M&S in Main Street. It was very nice, but do you know of any sit-down restaurants that serve Gibraltarian cuisine? Read More

Small Scale Removal Advice Please by TLafferty
Hi All I'm moving from Fife, Scotland down to Gib in June to take up a 12 month contract. I will need to bring a dozen or so large boxes with me. I had considered buying a van to take my things down myself, but was put off when told about the ...
Thanks David. I thought this sounded okay, when compared with the cost of driving my things down myself. I found an online instant quote that was much higher, as it would have been air freight. This confirmed to me that the £650 was fine. Read More
