You step off the coach and the Rock of Gibraltar fills the horizon — a vertical limestone ridge jutting into the Mediterranean, wind scouring its faces and gulls wheelinging the skyline. The walk up to the Upper Rock passes scrub and low pines; the air tastes of salt and exhaust from the narrow streets below.
