As I mentioned earlier I'm in Southern Spain this week, staying at the moment in Estepona. Yesterday we took a day trip to Gibraltar and Tarifa, the Southern-most point in Europe, only eight miles from Africa. I'll have a more detailed report later, but just figured I'd share some highlights. Tarifa was beautiful though cold…

The runway at the Port Blair airport in the Andaman Islands is the only other runway with a major road crossing.
I drove across that runway myself a couple years ago...definitely a cool experience.
I love Gibraltar! Perfect for the quick hop down from London whenever the weather in Britain is getting me down (apart from the not-so-great schedules of BA).
Tarifa is a wonderful little town, we once spent a week there with our teenagers . There are Roman ruins just 15 minutes east of town, as well as amazing sand dunes. From there we jumped of to Gib and Morocco. All of us would return in a heartbeat.
Lookin' good as always 🙂
Good that you were able to mark this runway crossing off of your bucket list. They are building a bypass (tunnel ??) roadway. I beleive the existing crossing will remain, but not normally used.
I was there this summer and was lucky enough to experience a ground level view of an Easy Jet taking off! We were about halfway across the runway when the bells and whistles started going off and we had to hi-tail it to the other side! Did you go into St. Michael's Cave? That was unbelievable!
I hade a great time in Gibraltar as well. A strange little place. Great views from up there, and those apes are fun to watch!
We're thinking about trip to Southern Spain with a day trip to Gibralter. Look forward to your report.
Did you drive into Gib and park, or did you park in La Linea and then take a cab?
I remember Gibraltar's airport featured on a documentary as one of the world's most dangerous. Great to see real life photos!!!
