Gibraltar, a dreamlike place where you can see both Europe and Africa at a glance.

Friends, I recently visited Europa Point, and I was truly speechless with its beauty! I have to share this super detailed travel guide with you all, so you can easily grasp this beauty too~ 🌍 Location and Features Europa Point is located at the southernmost tip of Gibraltar, at the end of continental Europe. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that on a clear day, standing on the shore, the outline of the African continent comes into clear view, as if you could reach out and touch the mystery of another continent. This wondrous experience can only truly be felt in person. 🚗 Transportation Guide Starting from downtown Gibraltar, passing through customs is incredibly smooth, so there's no need to worry about delays. After customs, switch to a relaxed walking mode for about ten minutes to reach the bus stop. Take bus number 2, and you'll arrive at the foot of the cable car hill. However, as soon as you get off the bus, minibus drivers will enthusiastically solicit your business. Don't be surprised; this is one of the local characteristics. 💴 Transportation Costs The minibus costs GBP 42 or EUR 50. Card payments are accepted, but there's a handling fee. The cable car is only a few pounds cheaper than the minibus, but considering the physical exertion required for later sightseeing, I strongly recommend taking the minibus. There are two reasons: first, the mountain road is extremely steep, making climbing a five-star difficulty level, which can be daunting; second, the minibus takes you directly to a spot closer to the attractions, saving your energy for later exploration, which is incredibly wise. 🎡 Sightseeing Route After arriving at the top of the mountain by minibus, the next stage of exploring the attractions relies on your own two feet. As you walk along the winding path, the scenery along the way will make you feel that all the walking is worthwhile. The first thing that catches your eye is the ancient and majestic lighthouse. It stands quietly, witnessing the passage of time and guiding ships to and fro. Standing by the lighthouse, overlooking the boundless sea, with the sea breeze caressing your face, all your worries are swept away. Continuing onward, you'll see the iconic Europa Point Monument, a symbol of the southernmost point of continental Europe. Be sure to take photos here and post them on your social media; you'll definitely get tons of likes. Further on, there's a small mosque, whose unique architectural style appears particularly serene and beautiful against the backdrop of the blue sky and sea. 📸 Photo Spots Europa Point is truly full of great photo opportunities. Under the lighthouse, with the sea as a backdrop, your photos will have a cinematic quality. Posing with the Europa Point Monument, any shot will look like a blockbuster. And in front of the mosque, with the sunlight dappling your body, the interplay of light and shadow will make your portraits stunning. Remember to dress up and take lots of photos to capture these beautiful memories. 🍜 Food Recommendations After a tiring day of exploring, it's time to savor the local cuisine. Gibraltar boasts a fusion of culinary influences from various cultures. Paella is a must-try dish, with its delicious seafood combined with fragrant rice, each bite is intoxicating. There's also the local fish and chips, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a refreshing ice-cold beer; it's simply divine. Europa Point is truly a captivating tourist destination, with both breathtaking scenery and unique cultural experiences that are unforgettable. Friends, add it to your travel list now! Trust me, once you've been here, you'll fall in love with it!
