Click her to view map of Gibraltar
Gibraltar. There are two coasts ( sides ) of Gibraltar – the East Side , which contains the settlements of Sandy Bay and Catalan Bay , and the West Side , where the vast majority of the population lives.
The climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and warm summers. There are two main prevailing winds, an easterly one known as the "levante" coming from the sahara in Africa which brings humid weather and warmer sea and the other as "poniente" which is westerly and brings fresher air in and colder sea. Its terrain is a narrow coastal lowland bordering the 1,397.6 foot (426 m ) high Rock of Gibraltar .
It has negligible natural resources and limited natural freshwater resources, until recently using large concrete or natural rock water catchments to collect rain water. It now has a desalination plant using reverse osmosis , built into the Rock itself.
|
Most of its upper area is covered by a nature reserve , which is home to around 250 Barbary Macaques , the only wild monkeys in Europe. Recent genetic studies and historical documents point to their presence on the Rock before the British capture. |
|
Superstition holds that if ever the monkeys leave, so will the British; as a result, they are well looked after by the government (a situation rather analogous to the ravens of the Tower of London ).
