Dog Faeces by Andy1964
I understand this may be an issue would anyone care to comment ?

Ha ha don't know - haven't been to Paris for years. Hopefully it's better these days. I walk my dog down at Europa Point when I'm in Gib, and that's pretty clean down there. I see lots of dog owners with little bags clearing up ... Read More

You think Gib has a problem with dog fouling?? Have you ever been to Paris, specifically Notre Dame and the artists quarter? Now THAT'S truly disgusting - dog s*** literally all over every inch of pavement and in the roads. Vile. Gib is spotless ... Read More


Looking to rent short term (one month) in Gibraltar/ La linea by mrobc1990
Hello everyone! I am going to be in Gibraltar for one month in August for work, and so far have been unsuccessful in finding a place/room to rent. My budget is up to £500 (the cheaper the better however!) All the available options I've ...

Rent in La Linea and commute across. Otherwise there is a youth hostel on Linewall road which has quite a good reputation. Rentals in Gib are from around min £800 pcm upwards (we pay over twice that), and I don't even know if you can rent ... Read More


Council tax around southern spain by tonyri
Hi I may get a job in IT in Gib and rent in Sotogrande (upto 400 euro per month). Do I pay council tax on top of my rent? Regards :|

We live in Gib but rent a holiday place in Spain as well. In our rental agreement the landlord pays the basura (rubbish collection) tax and the urbanisation or council tax, and we just pay for any gas, water, phone/internet and the electric. As we ... Read More


Border queues by tonyri
If I worked shifts in Gib does this mean I would miss the peak time queues getting in via car?

I come in and out of Gib at varying times, and have only sometimes been caught in a bad queue. Otherwise I usually drive straight in, and maybe queue for between 5 mins and 45 mins tops to get out.But yes, it does depend on the timing. In my ... Read More


Walking dog off the lead in Gibraltar by Radpup
Are there designated areas where dogs can be off the lead to exercise? Are certain beaches open for dogs. My dog adores swimming & with the heat its important as is the pleasure & exercise he gets off the lead. I don't live in Gib, its something ...

Oh yes the other reply reminded me about the dog park. There is a circular area down at Europa Point where dog owners meet every night at 9pm with their dogs to chat and to socialise them. It's great if your dog gets on with all other dogs, but mine ... Read More

It's not easy having a dog in Gibraltar, especially a large one. I have a German shepherd, and I have found it quite difficult. There are lots of people with small dogs though. Firstly I found it hard to find an apartment to rent which would take ... Read More

Ex-Pat clubs/meetings by fruitygirl2
Hi, We are moving to live & work in Gib in the next few weeks. I was wondering if there were any weekly or monthly clubs or informal get togethers in restaurants or bars by other ex-pats, so we could get to meet new friends?

That sounds like a plan. There's some nice places at Ocean Village which are quite lively, and my husband went to a great place in Irishtown area. I also liked the restaurants & bars at Queenswharf. I guess we'll get to know Gib better when we move ... Read More
