El Peñón, the macaques and the San Miguel Caves, two and a half hours from Málaga
The trip to Gibraltar from Málaga takes two and a half hours to cross into British territory, so you’ll need a valid identity card or passport. Without this, there will be no exceptions on the day of departure.
Barbary macaques live on top of the Rock, Europe’s only wild population of apes, and from the viewing points you can see the African coast. You can go up on a guided tour, explore on your own or add a dolphin-watching boat trip.
