@@karinajones1121 Hi. I am taking my 13yo daughter for a short break in August. Can you recommend anywhere nice to eat in the evening? Also any idea which is the nicest beach?

@@BibtheBoulder The best beach has to be Catalan bay its stunning, but other cool swimming points all around Gibraltar, also they have a swimming pool in the sea which is pretty cool with fish swimming around you. Main street has plenty of restaurants and bars but Ocean village is where most head to, The Bridge bar is a nice setting.

Go kiwis you would love it from a British brother

It's your island aswell from 🇬🇧

Thank you Gibraltar for this beautiful video from the United Kingdom

@@ferpinguG Gibraltar is not a colony and the Democratic process here is legitimate, I'm Gibraltarian lived here all my life, its majority Mediterranean/Spanish descent and heritage, with the Spanish language and culture being as common as English Many people here have Spanish/Italin/Portugese bloodline and we're not "Pure English" settlers. Gibraltar also has its own government, own ministries, votes for its own political parties and has no say in UK elections, semi-independence, we handle all domestic affairs ourselfs and not dictated by the British, who only control our foreign policy and even then we still have a say. That by definition does not make us a colony. Maybe if you actually visited here you'd understand instead of being ill informed. Also not knowing the fact the Spanish government is economically inferior to the British one, and has unemployment rate of that of Iraq (15%) and this was BEFORE Covid. Also the fact that we allow 5,000+ Spanish workers to commute into Gibraltar to work everyday since wages are higher here, giving them medical treatment and insurance is something were to happen and all, and even covid vaccines. British have built up our city beautifully, never treated us wrongly. We like the Spanish people and culture but never would we vote for a Spanish corrupt government or give up our British roots that we're so proud of.

@@FriedrichBarb That is not completely true is it.... You voted with us to leave the EU, your votes went towards the outcome. Without our British pound and backing from our UK Government you would most likely have been taken over by Spain. Its also a tax haven for betting companies in the UK. It is over populated, covered in high rise flats and can't even house their workers who are paying tax in to the gib system. It's ok but you either love it or hate it and the Gibraltarians aren't to keen on the Brits lol

@@herecomesthemoney1220 Gibraltar can never become Spanish unless the people vote for it in a referendum, only way Spain could take over is by force On Brexit, 95% voted for remain Gibraltar also isnt that over populated, considering we need 5k+ workers from Spain in order to function, and vast majority of people here have housing, but yes you’re right if it’s not government housing usually it’s very over priced sadly And Gibraltarians are keen on Brits because well, we are British… again no idea where you get this idea from

@@FriedrichBarb True but Spain probably would have taken it by force by now, that border is hell getting in and out. Exactly so imagine if the UK had remained in the EU due to Gibraltar's votes, i bet not many Brits knew that another Country was voting on our future. There is no room whatsoever in Gibraltar, you build high rise apartments, in some places the sun can no longer reach the ground. Gibraltar also does employ its workers from Spain, along with the British who work in Gib and live in spain, they tax them and then send them back to live in Spain because there is no room. I lived there for 6/7 years, it is a great place to see and live especially if you are from there.... Government housing, free university (in UK), great sports facilities

@@herecomesthemoney1220 They will never try take it by force unless they want to end up like their Argentinian cousins, but yes the border can be Hell to pass through 30k votes in a country of 65+ million is completely irrelevant, and again Gib is not “another country” we are a British territory and have the right to have a say also, just like Northern Ireland The Brits that come from Spain could always apply for the housing list, eventually they will be offered a flat, it just takes long, but yes you make valid point about Gib not having enough room for housing, but I believe sea reclamation in future will solve this, just as it has for the past few decades. Thank you for the kind words also and I’m sorry that the housing situation didn’t work out for you, hope found satisfying retirement elsewhere

Yes, I left you John Chris Schmitt Smith and Kieran and Bryan to it 93! I went to bed. Night 😴

And thank GOD it has changed.

what a wally

Actually, I think it was the best thing you did, we don’t like common and trashy people wondering around our streets 😊
