We climbed the Mediterranean steps in August 86 it was sweltering - they were decommissioning O'Hara's Battery big gun on the top and were really surprised to see as we decided to climb the last 30ft rock face - they said we shouldn't be there really then gave us a quick tour : )

I was in the Brittish Army in the late 1970s to the early 1980s and I was stationed in Gib for 2 years and we used to run up the Med Steps and yes they are steap and sometimes uneven, but the views are incredible.

Hey :) Great video! Thinking about taking a day trip to Gibraltar from Malaga, just a quick question, how long did all of it take you? Thanks in advance!

@KristinasTravels 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Lula! We crossed the border at around 10am and left at around 6pm. This wasn’t long enough! Mind you, we didn’t have a car, we crossed the border on foot, got a bus to the cable car and then walked up the rock via the Mediterranean Steps. I would recommend crossing the border early!! Because, in our case, by the time we finished walking up the Mediterranean steps it was around midday - maybe later!!! 😬😬😬
