Love Gibraltar we used to walk over when we were on holiday in Spain…the runway is very, very small I would not want to drop in that way…the cable car ride was my one and only ever ride on a cable car but well worth it for the views and the underground caverns are like entering a time warp ..well preserved…definitely worth the trip and lovely leather goods or there was when we visited back in the 80’s …Happy New Year, John x
