Sunset spots

Gibraltar's west side faces across the Bay, so the sun goes down behind the hills of Algeciras with the ships lit up on the water.

Our terrace

Our favouriteNo crowds

We'd be lying if we said anywhere beat it. From the studio's private terrace you look straight across the Bay of Gibraltar and down towards the Straits. Pour a glass, watch the tankers swing at anchor, and see the sky go orange behind the mountains.
