It&#8217;s the largest on the island.<\/p>\n<p>Michael&#8217;s Cave is remarkable for its impressive structure: the Upper Cave, which is the largest area of the cave, is connected to a smaller hall through five corridors. In the smaller gallery, we can find stalactites and stalagmites of between 12 and 45 meters. So definitely, your <strong>Gibraltar visit<\/strong> wouldn&#8217;t be complete until you step foot in St. Michael&#8217;s Cave.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"visit-the-apes-of-gibraltar\"><\/span>Visit the Apes of Gibraltar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apart from the many <strong>places to visit in Gibraltar<\/strong>, seeing the Apes is mandatory if you go to the Rock!<\/p>\n<p>The island is famous for the macaques, a native species from Morocco, and the only monkeys who live wild in Europe. There&#8217;s a legend about them: if the monkeys ever leave Gibraltar, the Rock won&#8217;t belong to the British anymore.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you <strong>visit Gibraltar <\/strong>and go to see the apes, beware. They may look cute but are wild animals, so they bite and sometimes like to play with your belongings. Also, feeding the apes is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"grand-casemates-square-and-main-street\"><\/span>Grand Casemates Square and Main Street<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Main Street is the most important Street of Gibraltar. It is recognised today as Gibraltar&#8217;s main shopping street and commercial area. It extends for approximately 1 kilometer through the old town, which is pedestrianized. What makes Main Street one of the <strong>places to visit in Gibraltar<\/strong> is the mixture of styles its buildings have: Portuguese, Andalusian, Moorish and British. Most buildings have shops on the main floor, and upper floors offer residential or office accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>The northern end of the street, known as Casemates&#8217; Square, is the border between Spain and the United Kingdom and is the city&#8217;s largest square.<\/p>\n<p>It hosts a lot of pubs, restaurants, and bars and is a must-see if you want to <strong>visit Gibraltar <\/strong>because it connects with Gibraltar&#8217;s city center.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to Gibraltar and need to <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delpasocarhire.com\/\">car hire at malaga airport<\/a>,<\/u> in <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delpasocarhire.com\/\">DelPaso<\/a><\/u> can help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located on a small peninsula at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, east of the Bay of Algeciras.
