Gibraltar is one of 14 British overseas territories, which are a legacy of the old British Empire: it retains the management of its territory, although some powers such as defense and foreign relations remain under the control of the United Kingdom.
This small state is located in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and it borders to the north with Spain, and specifically with the Autonomous Community of Andalusia.

The climate of Gibraltar is subtropical Mediterranean, characterized by mild winters, during which the annual rainfall is concentrated, and warm and generally dry summers.
Gibraltar is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and it is made up of different ethnic groups; the population is mostly British, Spanish and Italian.
The official language is English, though, for its proximity to Spain, many people are bilingual, speaking Spanish so well.

One of the main tourist attractions is Gibraltar Rock, which is the rocky promontory that in ancient times was considered one of the Pillars of Hercules; another very popular aspect of Gibraltar is shopping.
