Quick FACTS Gibraltar is not your average country. In fact, it is officially known as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom (made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). This means it is ruled over by the Queen. You’d think Gibraltar would be close to the UK, but it is located on the Mediterranean Sea, and shares a border with Spain. This is why a lot of locals speak Spanish, as well as the official language, English. Fantastic FOODS Food in Gibraltar is special, because it is a brilliant mix of the British and Spanish influences and people. Pasta is very popular in Gibraltar, especially dishes such as Rosto (pasta with beef, pork and veggies) and Fideos al horno, which is a pasta bake with Bolognese…
