Gibraltar: A Strategic Enclave
Located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar has been a British Overseas Territory since 1713, following the Treaty of Utrecht. While it borders Spain geographically, it remains politically attached to the UK, enjoying a special status as a self-governing jurisdiction with its own government and tax system.
Covering just 6.8 km², Gibraltar is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Yet, this tiny stretch of land holds enormous geopolitical and economic significance: the iconic Rock overlooking the strait is a key strategic gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
A Thriving and International Economy
Despite its modest size, Gibraltar has become a major hub for global business, especially in the following sectors:
- Online gaming: Many iGaming companies have set up headquarters in Gibraltar, drawn by flexible regulation and reliable infrastructure.
- Finance and cryptocurrency: The territory is home to emerging blockchain ventures and cutting-edge financial services.
- International trade: Favourable tax policies and special customs agreements attract businesses looking for strategic market entry points.
Understated Yet Unique Tourism
Although Gibraltar isn’t listed among the world’s top tourist hotspots, it remains a charming and distinctive destination featuring:
- The famous Rock of Gibraltar, home to a colony of free-roaming macaques.
- Water activities, including yacht and sailing excursions (note: orcas in the strait can occasionally pose unpredictable encounters).
- Cultural landmarks such as military tunnels, museums, and a British-style town centre infused with Andalusian flair.
