A Very Handy Travel Companion
I Brought this book in the hope I would be able to explore Gibraltar, and learn more about its History, and find out about places to go and visit while there. This book delivers on these areas for the following reasons. To start with, at both ends of the book, there are maps. These Show Gibraltar and the surrounding coast of Spain, and the popular resorts near to Gibraltar. The content of the book itself is excellent. It includes entertainment facilities in Gibraltar, to the highlights including the likes of the apes and the cable car ride. It has places to eat, places to stay, as well as travel tips, and sightseeing tours. There is also a history section which makes very interesting reading. All in all a great book one I would recommend when travelling to Gibraltar.
