Transoceánico desde Barcelona

Barcelona es la segunda ciudad más grande de España, con tres millones de habitantes, un puerto dominante en el norte del Mediterráneo y una de las universidades más prestigiosas e importantes del mundo. La ciudad es un centro comercial muy rico, donde tienen lugar operaciones industriales cruciales para la economía española.
De hecho, los catalanes siempre han considerado su región especial en comparación con las demás regiones españolas y podemos encontrar sus raíces en el poder ejercido por Barcelona durante cuatrocientos años el menos sobre la monarquía española y sobre los acontecimientos comerciales europeos.

Gibraltar is one of the most famous places in the world, linked to numerous legends. Here, the Mediterranean ended and with it the world, but fortunately today we know that’s not the case.
Its strategic position meant that it was disputed over for many centuries by the seafaring nations who had political and commercial interests between Europe and Africa.

The Spain cruise to Gibraltar reveals the charm of this colony with its Rock overlooking the sea where Neanderthal remains have been found, and where a rare breed of macaques roam free. The Rock is the main natural attraction for the number of plant species that flourish on its slopes (as many as 600!) and its colonies of migratory birds. The movements of storks and birds of prey are sight not to be missed and are thrilling to watch as they fly in flocks.

More good reasons to climb to the top are the view from the Rock, a panorama that spans two continents set against the beautiful colours of the sea, and a visit to the monument to the Pillars of Hercules. In addition to the natural attractions, don’t miss a walk to Europa Point, the lighthouse that still guides ships safely, and a shore excursion to the caves of St. Michael, caves that form the stage to numerous concerts and performances due to their perfect acoustics.
