Gibraltar is perfect for a short break but you still need a guidebook. This concise, readable guide will save a precious half day of your trip by taking you straight to the places you want to see. This SECOND EDITION extends the original version with extra photos, an additional 12 page full colour street atlas and an index.

- Your options for getting there, including bus times and prices from Malaga
- Orientation guide to take you straight to the action as soon as you step off your plane or cross the land border
- 9 full page colour maps to complement the text, each specially produced for this publication.

A convenient map on the back cover gives an overview of the Upper Rock for handy reference as you explore.
- A further 12 pages of 1:7000 scale street maps covering the whole of Gibraltar. These ensure you are never lost if you leave ?he main tourist areas. They also cover the Spanish streets between the border and La L?ea bus station.
- Full colour pages, with over 30 photographs. Unlike many travel books, these are not library shots of market stalls, plates of food and people in national dress, or artistic close ups of ornate stonework. Instead they are straight forward pictures of Gibraltar's attractions, to help you plan your visit and fill you with enthusiasm for your trip.
- Suggested itineraries for different trip lengths, from visits of less than a day to trips of three days plus.
- Explanation of Gibraltar's bus system including lists of stops and a unique route map
- Index
The whole book is presented in an easy to read style. Rather than get bogged down with tedious detail for every restaurant and historic building, it presents the main attractions and explains how to get to them quickly. The format is optimised for the maps, large pages yet thin enough to hold in one hand as you wander the town and nature reserve.
This book is only about Gibraltar. Other than transport details from Malaga to the adjacent town of La L?ea, Spain is not covered at all.
