We did stop at Gibraltor before going to Cadiz. There really wasn't much to see there but 'the rock'. We stood in line for an hour to take a tram to the top.There were lots of apes/monkeys running around up there - stealing peoples bags and jumping on their heads. After 5 minutes of the view, we were ready to leave. We walked down to the mid-point where we got the tram to return. There was supposed to be good shopping, but we were too tired to check it out. In my view, not worth seeing. |
