You step off the street into limestone: the Rock of Gibraltar rises like a worn fortress, salt air pushing against the face of the cliff, and gulls tracking the strait. The guide leads you through a sequence of tight passages and wide caverns—St. Michael’s Cave opening like a vaulted hall, tunnels cut by hand, and a skywalk that throws the horizon wide between Europe and Africa.
