Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has an area of 6.8 square kilometres (2.6 sq mi) and a northern border with Andalusia, Spain. The Rock of Gibraltar is the major landmark of the region. At its foot is the densely populated city area, home to almost 30,000 Gibraltarians and other nationalities. (Source: Wikipedia)
We sailed in with a lot of other working ships. This is looking at the coast of Spain. Somewhere along the entry route, a small boat approaches the ship. It is marked "Pilot" and someone will get on board our ship to help us through the entryway to the port and docking.
As we sail in to the port, we witness the Captain perform his first of many outstanding maneuvers.
The dock is already quite busy, with several cruise ships already docked. I can see our tour buses lining up, ready for our passengers to set foot on land for the first time in eight days.
The Discovery was in port with us.
A lot of activity. The red paint on these ships caught my eye.
Busy cargo areas with "The Rock" in the background.
Space limited, so high-rise is the way to go. This didn't look like much space was wasted as they built as close to the waters edge.
