1st Gibraltar

Nice to find this old cache. I did get some funny looks from people when I stood on the ledge above the road. But hey-ho. Many people do stranger things. I took a picture, that was my excuse. 

My third day in Gibraltar. I started the day with the same procedure as yesterday. I walked from my accommodation in La Línea de la Concepción to the border, showed my passport (twice), continued across the airfield and on to the Market Place bus terminal. I took the bus as far as Garrison Gym, where I started my walk/hike at 11am.

Hallo mafra,

Mit meinem Kind 2 im Gepäck ging es von Leipzig über Berlin nach Porto wo unsere Tour richtig starten sollte. Von Porto über Up Up Up ging es nach Sevilla, weiter nach Algeciras von wo Gibraltar erreichbar war. Anschließend ging es über Sevilla weiter nach Lisboa. Nach nun einer Woche flogen wir über Madrid nach Teneriffa wo die zweite Woche verbracht wurde. Natürlich ging es auch auf den Tide und das nicht mit der Seilbahn.


Thanks to the CO for your Cache and showing me this place

🇦🇹Deutsch:

Silvester in Andalusien


Nachdem ich letztes Jahr leider bei der Silvesterreise nicht dabei sein konnte, ergab sich für heuer die Gelegenheit. Gemeinsam mit APPC, CN72, PM73 und 13Edi13 geht für mich ohne Begleitung nach Wien🇦🇹, von wo wir nach Malaga 🇪🇸 fliegen. Dort haben wir unsere Unterkunft und unseren Ausgangspunkt für die nächsten Tage.


Am Reiseplan steht ein Besuch in Gibraltar 🇬🇮, worauf ich mich schon sehr freue. Der bekannte Affenfelsen und die Überquerung des Flughafens als Einreise, die Besichtigung der Halbinsel und das Cachen nebenbei versprechen viel Abwechslung und einen stressigen Tag. Auch ein Ausflug nach Marokko 🇲🇦 ist geplant. Hier geht es mit der Fähre nach Tanger, wo wir einen Tag verbringen. 


Im Zuge der Besichtigungen werden so manche Caches besucht, auf die wir uns schon zuhause vorbereitet haben, bevor es nach fünf Tagen in der Wärme wieder zurück nach Österreich und in den alpenländlichen Winter geht.


🇬🇧English:

New Year's Eve in Andalusia


After I unfortunately couldn't take part in the New Year's Eve trip last year, the opportunity arose this year. Together with APPC, CN72, PM73 and 13Edi13 I go unaccompanied to Vienna🇦🇹, from where we fly to Malaga🇪🇸. There we have our accommodation and our starting point for the next few days.


The itinerary includes a visit to Gibraltar🇬🇮, which I'm really looking forward to. The well-known monkey rock and crossing the airport as entry, visiting the peninsula and caching on the side promise a lot of variety and a stressful day. A trip to Morocco🇲🇦 is also planned. Here we take the ferry to Tangier, where we spend a day.


During the tour we visit some of the caches that we have already prepared for at home, before we head back to Austria and into the Alpine winter after five days in the warmth.


🇪🇸Español:

Nochevieja en Andalucía


Después de que el año pasado lamentablemente no pude participar en el viaje de Nochevieja, este año surgió la oportunidad. Junto con APPC, CN72, PM73 y 13Edi13 viajo solo a Viena🇦🇹, desde donde volamos a Málaga🇪🇸. Allí tenemos nuestro alojamiento y nuestro punto de partida para los próximos días.


El itinerario incluye una visita a Gibraltar🇬🇮, que tengo muchas ganas. La conocida roca de los monos, cruzar el aeropuerto como entrada, visitar la península y hacer cachés al lado prometen mucha variedad y un día estresante. También está previsto un viaje a Marruecos🇲🇦. Aquí tomamos el ferry hacia Tánger, donde pasaremos un día.


Durante el recorrido visitamos algunos de los escondites que ya hemos preparado en casa, antes de regresar a Austria y al invierno alpino después de cinco días en el calor.

Werte/r mafra, danke fürs Legen, Hegen und Pflegen des Caches "1st Gibraltar", den ich als #11 gefunden habe, sagt mpunkthpunkt!!

3 weeks of holidays together with TedRedhair. Day 11 of 22 was our first day in Gibraltar and fully decidated to exploring the upper rock.
Of course the oldest cache of Gibraltar was also on the must visit list and thanks to the spoiler photo it was quickly found.
Thanks for hiding this cache and keeping it alive for such a long time!
As far as OpenCaching Caches are concerned, this was the 3rd and final OC cache we did in Gibraltar. 3/3 done! :)

Schöner Ausflug heute nach Gibraltar und dabei alle 3 OC-Caches gemacht!

Liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg!

On my sunday caching Tour with the cable car up and down on Mediterranean Steps I stopped here and could find the Cache Thanks for the Cache! Stbd from Augsburg, Germany

As the weather was getting wetter and colder in Germany, biotonne88 and I decided that we could live with some more vitamin D and set our course to the Costa del Sol to digest as much sunshine as possible.

After arriving at Malaga on Wednesday, we spent the first day around Ronda. Today, we decided to go further South and claim a new country point by visiting Gibraltar. So we parked in Spain and walked over to Great Britain, where we spent the whole day caching, sight-seeing and attending two events.

Our first target was to climb the rock, so we immediately made our way upwards. On the way down again, we of course had to find Gibraltar's oldest cache, so we did a small detour. TFTC!

On my way back from the great sige tunnels, I found this cache and took a TB.
I'll bring the TB to germany.

Kurzurlaub in/bei Marbella, heute war Gibraltar dran. Gut 15km hier gewandert, viel gesehen und einige Caches.
Schnell gefunden und einen Reisenden da gelassen.

Vielen Dank an mafra für den Cache "GCA227, 1st Gibraltar"

Bis denne

On our way down with the cable car I got out at the middle station to search this historic cache. I went up the impressively steep stairs. A sign about aggressive macaques made me a bit nervous but none of them was on the stairs and the others were far enough away not to feel confined.
The cache itself was a fast find. The most time was taken by getting it closed again because there's a big TB inside that I couldn't take with me.
Back to the cache I passed close to a macaque. I ignored him. He ignored me. After the stairs it took a bit of running to reach the next (and second last) cable car down. Mission accomplished.
Thanks for maintaining this old cache.

TB in TB out. Log folgt.

Vielen Dank an mafra für die Arbeit mit dem Cache 1st Gibraltar und natürlich fürs Herführen und Verstecken.

Happy hunting und bis bald im Wald, sagen 6Bonnie und Clyde6.

Together with saarzwerg, tower27, FLF, marky_de, and linus2170, I have visited Andalusien and Gibraltar. We have done sightseeing mainly. On our way, we have visited this geocache also!

Thank you very much for maintaining this old geocache - by the way - the box was full of water, as we found it.

At 16:22:49 found and logged! [;)]

Thanks for the cache to the owner! [:)]

During our trip through Andalus we made a stop in Gibraltar as long as it's still in the European union. We were quiet glad for having left the crowded city. While I was looking the container itself one of the monkeys joined us. Thank you very much for this OC!

We managed to find this one as number 300. Truly a great choice as the rock of Gibraltar is one amazing place to see. Many thanks for guiding us here and tftc.

Group picture with travelers

On a geotour with Xearanth. After a flight from Barcelona to Malaga and a well slept night in Malaga, we took the bus from Malaga to La Línea de la Concepción in order to visit Gibraltar. After crossing the border, we left our luggage at the hotel, ate our lunch, visited a traditional cache near the restaurant and then took the cable car up. On our way down we stopped here, as the oldest cache of the area is always a special place to visit. This was a quick and easy find. The views were amazing. TFTC!

Den ersten Cache von Gibraltar musste ich natürlich suchen und finden. Bei meiner Wanderung vom Felsen herunter in die Stadt kam ich hier vorbei und fand den Cache.
Für das lange Erhalten des Caches lasse ich noch einen Favoritenpunkt hier.

Of course, I had to search for and find the first cache of Gibraltar. On my walk down the rock into town, I passed by and found the cache.
For the long preservation of the cache, I still leave a favorite here.

We did a crazy trip. Together with AgentSchmidt, Mkuutomasi, The_Tom, Veke68 , Katsukka and me we drove from Malaga to Tarifa, Gibraltar and Tangar. 3 Countries in 4 days. We saw a lot and have had a great time in Spain, Gibraltar and Marocco.
We enjoyed the geocaches we could do during our stay. It was a nice journey and I have taklen a lot of pictures.... Hope we'll come back some day.
Thank you for this geocache.
Thanks for our group for this crazy trip.

It was a nice day at Gibraltar. Collecting some caches is a must do.

Hello,

from 23th to 25th of february a group of 37 geocachers from Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg undertook a journey to Morocco, Spain and Gibraltar. To save paper we mostly signed the logbooks with "MaGiSpa 2018".

On the third day we started in Spain again. Afterwards we went for our second trip to Gibraltar. Today we finally entered the rock itself. In the afternoon it was sadly time to say good-bye and return to our homeland.

In the morning we undertook a little tour with big taxis. It was the best way to reach the wanted locations, since we had only time until one o'clock. Of course this was one of the caches we wanted to do anyway. The 1st Gibraltar was definitely worth a visit with many coins and TBs in it.

Eigentlich ist das Besteigen des Affenfelsen nicht so anstrengend, wie ich es befürchtet hatte. Der Abstieg ist auch recht angenehm, zumal die Wege gut sind und einige Cache es kurzweiliger werden lassen.

*Day 9: The Tanger & Gibraltar day*

After the long walk within the Sierra Nevada and the long drive to La línea today was a relaxing day starting with the ferry trip over to Tanger. Even though it was a bit bumpy, the cachedog took the boattrip easier than expected ... looks like our regular "ferry training" at home has taken effect [:o)][:D] After visiting the event with HHnilsHH and the only "Tanger cache", I had a late breakfast at the "Jardin des Nations Unies" and a nice walk to the "Eglise Francaise" we took the ferry back.

When returning back at Gibraltar it was the first time that someone wanted to see the animal passport of my cache dog ... good that I had it with me [B)]. The first stop was the cache "North bastion wall" from which we followed the stairway up the "Upper rock" passing the "Moops Road" cache and the "Lime Kiln" where I had a DNF [:(]. When entering the National park area where I paid the "Walkers only" fee, the guard warned me about the monkeys that "really don't like" dogs. Since I didn't want to take the risk of an attack, I only stayed within the lower part visiting the "1st Gibraltar", the "Ghost battery", "Devils Gap", the "St.Michals Cave", the mystery "The Gib monkeys Puzzle cache" and the "First Pillar of Herades" before we headed down to the city again.

On the way to the camper I then visited the cache "La verja" and "Playa de Levante" before we left to Sevilla. When we reached the camper stop within the city, it was 21:30 ... again a long day - much longer than expected but a great excursion [:D]

TFTC, mafra and your contribution to a great holiday tour with this hide!

P.S.
1x TB drop

Easter is an annual event that gives us two bonus leave days due to its holidays - this year Christyan and I decided to travel to Andalusia to take advantage of them [8D]. While the weather at home was cold (10°C) and rainy, southern Spain pleased us with sun and about 23°C [^].
On Sunday, we decided to visit Gibraltar: next to the geocache-finds in a "new" country, we wanted to visit The Rock, the Barbary macaques (apes), historical military relics and the southernmost point of Gibraltar [;)]. We decided to cross the border by foot because we're told that when passing the border by car or also by bike there's only one lane and therefore often a long queue. By foot we just need to pass one immigration officer and we were in [8D].
We took the cable car up to the top and went down (and up and down and up...) The Rock, but that made the walk just a little less exhausting, i think [:o)]. Of course, we wanted to find the first cache in Gibraltar, too! On this street there weren't any muggles (I think they were all "playing" with the monkeys...) so we could search, find and log the cache without being noticed. Nice view from here, but no monkeys today [;)].
This was my geocache find no. 8216 [|)]. Thanks for hiding and greetings from Lübeck, Germany,

Quickly found this one during our walk round the rock. TFTC!

While slowly walking down from top to bottom of the rock we passed this very old cache. Too bad that it is only a mirco container now.
