Very cool video! Fun fact: the clip at 0:26 had to be redone more than 3 times since some guy kept sticking his head out and making unrelated and stupid jokes.

Another fun fact is that some of the locals there speak an interesting vernacular called Llanito (pronounced roughly "Yaneeto"), which is essentially Andalucian Spanish with a lot of English loanwords and code-switching. There's also lots of other quirks to it, like old loanwords from Spanish speaking population in Liguria in Italy and Haketia (Morrocan Judeo-Spanish) loanwords from the notable Jewish community there.

I've lived in Gibraltar all my life, so I'm very surprised to see this one! It was very well written. I disagree about the note that the "border checks at the end 2020 aren't any stronger". They have certainly become stronger for tourists or non nationals. Day trips from one to another aren't legal anymore, requiring tourists to show evidence of a hotel in Spain if leaving Gibraltar. This rule is subject to how the guards are feeling that day, as they tend to wave anyone through. Natives with a red identity cards are exempt.

Local Gibraltarian here! Lovely video on our little Rock, informative and respectful! I'll happily share with friends across the world. Hope you had some good food whilst visiting, Gib and la linea have some superb spots :)

Next video idea: what are the Crown Dependencies?

Gibraltar is pretty based for both being the only place in Europe with wild *m o n k e s* and for having the territory's main road cross an airport runway, which leads to a unique operation whenever a plane lands or takes off.

Thanksgivings, friend. I give you my sign of gratitude and respect.

Can you make a part 2 video on how Gibraltar is actually ran and go deeper in its relationship with london? Been subbed for ages

Thanks for the share.

Nice video, well presented. Many thanks.

Fun fact: there are about 800 Jewish people in Gibraltar, which is 2.7% of the total population. That may sound small, but it’s the highest percentage in the world after Israel.

Great video.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

Nice video as always!

Gibraltarian here! Love that you are spreading more awareness about Gib, its an amazing place that many people (even brits) dont know about. Would definitely recommend it for anyone considering visiting, though I am biased 😂

"Do a video on the history of the West Indies federation"

2:51 the EU4 reference made me jump out of my seat 😂

big fan

How long did you stay there?

Born and bred am I. Great video this is. If you round again, focus on the long queues formed on purpose at the border. Inhumane!

When I was young in the 1960's and 70's the Prudential Insurance Company advertised constantly on TV. Their logo was (and still is) the Rock of Gibraltar. I got the impression that the rock WAS Gibraltar...period. It's not until today, on the eve of my 76th birthday, that I started researching Gibraltar. I guess I slept through my geography class the day my teacher talked about Gibraltar. 🤣

My house is behind you at 0:56 😂

Gibraltar 🇬🇮 is currently the only British Overseas Territory I’ve been to.

Can you make a video on British Empire

Gibraltar is one of the places I don't often think about, but I love the reference to the Pillars of Hercules! Still important even to this day. Thank you for the video. Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)

Mr Spagheti made a feature that’s sick!!

"Hey Spain, wanna hear a joke?" "Si" "Gibraltar" "I don't get it..." "And you never will"

did u really go there after u saw ur youtube comments.. we are so alike i would do this but i'm scared to start a youtube

Ah my favorite legend

In late summer and early Autumn of 1991 I worked in Gibraltar for four weeks. I just loved it there it was most amazing experience I had as eighteen year old. I went to this pub that was located in the Marina district. The barmaids started to climb on the bar and sing "I will survive" I was amazed. I was a Smoker at that point in time. There were cigarette pack for a pound in the vending machines. I felt like being in U.K but in a strange way but lovely and sunny. When they have rain OMG I never seen rain like just hit the ground with such force 😱. I loved my time there at The Caleta Hotel Gibraltar. There was this amazing restaurant loved it at the Caleta Bay. I remember I asked what helicopter and speed boat doing following this other boat was it drugs smuggling. The waiter smiled and laughs he said not drugs as such I said what in amazement he there smuggling Tobacco. Wow I thought. Yes I loved my time there the people were so lovely and kind. I never forget my four weeks there. In a way I would love to live there still a person can dream.

Bro from 0:32 to 0:46 the subtitles are broken af

"oh no macau!" killed me lmfao

Soo..is it like guernsey, or jersey, but more autonomy?

With the way the UK is handling the Irish border, I don't see Gibraltar joining Schengen anytime soon.

Ma Cow really got me:)

0:30 spaghetti road is there

Only been there once I did enjoy it was very busy and hot though

Hello!

you’ve gotta take better care of urself dude, love the vids though

it's so weird to see so many people talking about Gib lol

Interesting

Spain has North African territories. The Spaniards shouldn't be talking.

Llegué más rápido que un inglés comparando Gibraltar con Ceuta y Melilla y llamando hipócritas a los españoles por querer recuperarlo. Un dato curioso es que la cercana localidad de San Roque tiene la misma bandera que Gibraltar, ya que allí se asentaron los locales tras expulsarlos los ingleses.

A better question would be to look at places around the world and ask why aren’t they British?

That Rock is called El Peñón. Gibraltar for the Spanish people is like North Ireland for an Irish.

haha

We also have three more british enclaves in spain, they're called Malaga, Benidorm and Ibiza

Wow

So would I be correct in saying that Britain has a border with Spain via Gibraltar

Morgan Lee

The main reason are the caves they visit with theiŕ submarines to the caves were there is an anunaki basé with some kind of thecnology

The “flip the switch” part is very confusing. The switch doesn’t stop the plug going into the wall…

Gibraltar español‼️‼️

lm from Gibraltar 🇬🇮

the name is arabicc tarik ben zaid was the first of morocco whou founded the island nd not spain or britain but the sutans in the end of the reqonqista gave it away to spain

We cannot drive over the runway anymore.

Why indeed

Gibraltar is what happens when fish and chips take over the Spanish tip

I lived there. Nice place but polluted as hell.

hello

Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve lived in Gibraltar since I was 1 and although it’s popular a lot of people still think it’s a fairy tale 😂

because we want to be, Greetings from the Rock of Gibraltar.

Seems like the entire population of Gibraltar is in the comments 😂

Gibraltar is British by the Treaty of Utrecht which is why they voted in the Britxit Referendum and consequently left the EU.

The people you meet in Gibraltar. I hear he really likes flags. Hehehe...

"Thousands work on either side"? Sorry where did you get your facts from KhAnubis?

Would love to live there, but I'm sure immigration is super tight being such a small place!

The British captured Gibraltar after a 7 year seige aided by the Dutch.

The last colony in Europe.

0:52 Would it be fair to call Gibraltar the Hong Kong of the Mediterranean? Well, 98.97%-99.64% of Gibraltarians favour UK sovereignty, whereas a significant portion of the Hong Kong population are not fond of the CCP

the question is not how it became but how it is STILL . Likewise they could have keep the suez british, the dardanele and bosphorus, falklands...Chut, falklands they kept. Ameircans could have kept panama canal ,

A British Royal Naval Hero Figure.

spaghetti road in gibraltar 😎

I would say Singapore is a better example than hong kong

Actually the Spanish cross the Gibraltar for work not both ways really

Mmmm.... Yes BRI'ISH

Excellent video and you ARE actually there! I'm British and accept that the people in Gibraltar want to continue as they are and they've already had several referenda democratically for fuck sake! The Gibralteans love having Spanish people over to work in higher-wage jobs and need them there. Indeed UK has one of the largest diasporas of Spanish already here in the UK for that very purpose. However, Spain seems to be using this as a tool in Brexit negotiations but the UK won't be pushed around. Yet the UK has it's own tool. If Scotland leaves the UK, then it forces a split within every country of the EU, most of all Spain who'll likely lose Catalonia first.

Is cristal clear why it became British. Why it's still there is incomprehensible.

Anybody care for some tea?

How British are they? What’s their accent like? Are many of them bilingual? Where are the majority of tourists from? So many questions….

One of the monkeys stole my bear-shaped chips:(

Basically Gibraltar is kind of like what the Falklands is to Argentina.

..because Britain was a power-hungry empire. Looting and harvesting the riches of their colonies. They made India their milking-cow and until now the heritage treasures of India are still being kept in British museums. It was that empire who caused so much havocs and disorientation that we still experience now.

Fun fact: Gibraltar 🇬🇮 is named after the Arabic name "gabal tariq" ( جبل طارق ) which means "the mountain of Tariq" and Tariq or Tariq bin Ziyad is the name of the Muslim commander who have conquered the Peninsula

How Banglore became Indian 🌚

Lol comparing Gibraltar with Hong Kong 😆

Because a magical thing called colonialism, not complaining tho

Spain controlled parts of Italy & Germany?!

Gibraltar is Spain

Gibraltar still bigger than the vatican

Gibraltar is an Overseas Territory & so not part of the Realm.

Oh No! Ma cau!😂

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Why are melita and ciutia Spanish?

If any Spaniard tells you Gibraltar belongs to Spain Just say "ceuta and melilla" to them 2 enclaves in North Africa belong to "Spain"

Love how pissed Spain is about Gibraltar when they have territories in Morocco they're also adamant about keeping.

All good, however, you forgot to mention that the UK expanded the territory of Gibraltar (twice) in breach of the Treaty of Utrecht. Also the treaty is a lifetime lease to the British but the jurisdiction of the territory was never given to the British. Finally Gibraltar is included by the UN in the list of territories to decolonize, however an independent Gibraltar would go against the treaty so it can only be British or Spanish

The Brits took Gibraltar with the aid of the Dutch.

British we are British we stay

Why is Gibral'ar Bri'ish?
