The Inimitable Gibraltar

Official achievement authored by Clorix.

While Gibraltar is located on the Iberian Peninsula, it is actually a British Overseas Territory. Nestled snugly south of Spain and surrounded by the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar as well as the Alboran Sea, the land area of the territory of Gibraltar itself is only 2.6 square miles. This tiny landmass is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, arguably its most famous and picturesque feature. However, the Rock of Gibraltar isn't this territory's only unique feature.

If traveling to Gibraltar by car, you will need to cross the Gibraltar International Airport's runway. You can count on one hand the number of airports that have runways with such vehicle crossings. Be sure to look for tourists crossing the runway as you takeoff and land!

And while visiting, you may find yourself befriending some of the roughly 230 Barbary macaques who call the Rock home. According to Wikipedia, "these are the only wild apes or monkeys found in Europe."

No matter what you're doing in Gibraltar, you're sure to have quite the unique experience!

Note: This achievement was created in celebration of the Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update 8 - Iberia release, but you may complete the flight in any simulator of your choice!
