Gibraltar is a self-governing British Overseas Territory, that is connected to Spain at its northernmost point. The Rock of Gibraltar is an iconic feature in the area and can be a jolt to those entering from Spain, having retained many traditional British features. Residents are British citizens, and a Chief Minister governs the area.
The most immediately recognisable feature of Gibraltar is its stark cliff sides. However, those who venture into Gibraltar will find a large nature reserve. The reserve is known for being home to Barbary macaques. However, there are numerous historical sites throughout the park.
For expats looking to find a job in Gibraltar, the main pillars of the local economy are tourism, offshore finance and online tech in the form of the numerous online gaming and gambling companies that headquartered there.
As is to be expected, Gibraltar enjoys a Mediterranean climate, although it is slightly cooler than other Spanish cities located on its southern coast. Nonetheless, warm summers and very mild winters can be expected.
Although the official language is English, expats hoping to move to Gibraltar would benefit from the knowledge of Spanish, both due to the countries closeness to Spain and the number of Spanish speakers in the territory.
