Description

Explore Gibraltar on a private tour from Seville, and see the only wild barbary apes of Europe on the Peñón de Gibraltar. Visit the picturesque White Towns of Andalusia with their peculiar architecture and small town feeling.
After pick–up in Seville, head to the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, home to the only wild macaques in Europe. According to superstition, if the monkeys ever leave the rock then so will the British! Take a stroll along Main Street to see the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Crowned and the official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar at The Convent.

The town of Vejer was declared a Historical Site and awarded the National Prize for the Beautification of Andalusian Towns. Its Moorish heritage is evident in the popular architecture and design of neighborhoods like the Judería. Perched on top of a beautiful hill overlooking the River Barbate, the town takes pride in its past civilizations such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. 

Some of Vejer's old towers are still well preserved, and its four medieval town gates are perfectly integrated in the town, namely the Segur Arch Gate, the Puerta de la Villa, the Sancho IV and the Puerta Cerrada. The 11th century castle stands at the highest part of the old town and can be reached through a beautiful horseshoe arch. It combines elements of Muslim and Christian architecture. The town also boasts some magnificent examples of religious architecture.
