Gaias Guide to Gibraltar
Eatery and cinema house
A boutique cinema experience now opening the Casemates Square. The Queen's Picturehouse and Eatery aims to combine innovation with nostalgia.
With cinema running in the Benatar family and with the Queens Cinema having played such an important part in Gibraltar's history, they were very reluctant to see the name disappear. The venue at Casemates Vaults is also new, however the setting could prove vaguely familiar.
The cinema ware showing classic movies but will also cater for private viewings and films on request. And for those who may not be movie buffs... there's always sport, theatre and music.

Sightseeing
If you’re a nature lover, the Med Steps are definitely the best way to explore the local flora and fauna. There is nothing but nature around you and stunning views across the Mediterranean Sea, and there are a lot fewer tankers and ships on the eastern side than on the western one.
Also, the rest of the Rock is reachable by cars, and taxi tours are very popular here. By taking the Med Steps you avoid any confrontation with the quite frequent tourist taxis and buses. This means that the air is cleaner on the Med Steps too J
There is no need for you to take the Med Steps both ways. You can climb up the Med Steps and then get down via one of the entrances / exits to also enjoy the western side of the Rock of Gibraltar.

The iconic Moorish Castle today is a popular historic tourist attraction is the name given to a medieval fortification in Gibraltar comprising various buildings, gates, and fortified walls, with the dominant features being the Tower of Homage and the Gate House. Part of the castle itself also housed the prison of Gibraltar until it was relocated in 2010. The Tower of Homage is clearly visible to all visitors to Gibraltar, not only because of its striking construction but also because of its dominant and strategic position. Though sometimes compared to nearby alcazars in Spain, the Moorish Castle in Gibraltar was constructed by the Marinid dynasty, making it unique in the Iberian Peninsula.

There are more than 150 caves found in the Rock of Gibraltar, but only one gets to take home the ‘most-visited’ prize. St. Michael’s Cave gets that honour, in no small part because of its awe-inspiring collection of stalactites and stalagmites. All of the formations are lit up in a variety of vibrant colours in order to accentuate the majesty of it all, creating magnificent photo opportunities for more than a million visitors every year. The cave was initially supposed to be an emergency hospital during World War II but never functioned as one, instead developing naturally into the wonder we see today. The splendid acoustics aren’t wasted either, with the occasional concert or gig held in this stunning spot.

The Europa Point Lighthouse, also referred to as the Trinity Lighthouse at Europa Point and the Victoria Tower or La Farola in Llanito, is a lighthouse at Europa Point, on the southeastern tip of the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
Europa Lighthouse was inaugurated on 1 August 1841 in a brief ceremony witnessed by about 10,000 people. The first upgrade of the lighthouse occurred in 1864, when the single-wick lamp was replaced with a Chance Brothers four-wick burner, with further changes in 1875 and in 1894 when the amount of light emitted was increased. A three incandescent mantle burner was added in 1905. Following further modernisation in the 20th century, the lighthouse was fully automated in 1994 and converted to LED operation in 2016.
Europa Point Lighthouse is operated by Trinity House. The cylindrical tower is painted white, with a wide red horizontal band in the middle. The lighthouse has a height of 20 metres (66 ft) and is 49 metres (161 ft) above the high-water mark. Next to the light house you will find a coffee shop and a childrens park.

Shopping in Gibraltar
Main Street in Gibraltar is of course, like Main Street in any other town in the world in that it is probably named appropriately, and is most likely the main street. In Gibraltar, Main Street is this and a touch more. It is in fact the only large street, and is the main site of both commerce, shopping, night life and day to day needs.
Running north and south through Gibraltar, the streets are lined with hurrying residents, the hustle and the chat a constant undertone as you move down pavement lined with buildings that could have come from any one of a plethora of cities worldwide.
Gibraltar Main Street Gibraltar has been largely pedestrianised, its sidewalks lined, as if for your amusement with buildings that offer up a rich diversity, styled as they are in Portuguese, Spanish, Moorish, British and Genoan style and architecture.
