There is much to catch your eye from the moment you step inside, from the 30m high central glass dome (the other two domes are 6m and 16m high) to the stunning display of plants. There are 5000 plants and 1.300 species and these have been carefully selected so that visitors will be sure to see beautiful flowering displays no matter what the time of year. It is claimed as the biggest collection in Europe.ย  Visitors follow a winding path that takes them through the beautiful displays of orchids via a circuitous route from the entrance all the way around to the exit. One eye catching feature is theย 17m high continious waterfall supplemented by an intermittent 30m waterfall.ย The path leads visitors along behind this and then in front of the waterfall, where a small bridge goes over the pools of water at the bottom from where the path continues up through further displays of orchids. ย  #flowers #orchidflower #orchids #orchidariumestepona #plant #greenhouse #garden #gibblogger #instapic #gbz #gibraltar #instablog #llanito #botanicalgardens #britishoverseasterritory #travel #holidays #mediterranean #straitsofgibraltar #travel #photography #blogger #betweenthecontinents #mylife #visitgibraltar #lovegibraltar #mygibraltar #rockofgibraltar #lifestyle #spring2024 #bloggerlife

Time travel Gibraltar Same spot , years apart Did you know? On 1st August 1981, Gibraltar served as the departure point for the honeymoon cruise of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The Royal Yacht Britannia, carrying the newlywed Princess and Prince, set sail from Gibraltar, marking the start of their honeymoon. #honeymoon #princessdiana #kingcharles #wedding #timetravel #nowandthen #historicimages #historicgibraltar #historic #vintage #images #gbz #llanito #therock #travelpics #photography #mygibraltar #lovegibraltar #holidays #travel #mediterranean #meteogib #pillarsofhercules #marmediterraneo #estrechodegibraltar #straitsibraltar #straitsofgibrstsffaltar #rockofgibraltar #visitgibraltar #timetravel.gibraltar

27/04/1961 - 27/04/2024 Today marks the 73rdย anniversary of the explosion of the RFA Bedenham. The RFA Bedenham was a naval armament carrier. It had arrived in Gibraltar on 24 April 1951 and on the morning of 27 April, exactly 70 years ago, was unloading depth charges at Gun Wharf to a lighter (a shallow-draft boat or barge used in the unloading of larger ships). A depth charge ignited while in the process of being unloaded. This caused a fire and an explosion in the lighter which then spread to the Bedenham itself. Brave attempts to contain the fire proved to no avail and the Bedenham too exploded violently. The explosion rocked Gibraltar. Its force was such that parts of the vessel were blown out of the water onto the actual quayside and elsewhere. The explosion killed 13 people, injured hundreds and caused extensive damage to property. Windows shattered all over Gibraltar and the Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the Convent were particularly badly affected. โ€œThe explosion of the Bedenham was a before and after moment for that generation of Gibraltarians. Everyone could remember where they were and what they were doing when the ship blew up. โ€œThis was a tragic accident but the truth is that it could have been much worse. There is a theory that Gibraltarโ€™s defensive structures and city walls actually helped to deflect some of the force of the blast away from the town area.ย  #bedenham #accident #explosion #instastories #dailylife #gibblogger #instapic #gbz #gibraltar #instablog #llanito #british #britishoverseasterritory #travel #holidays #mediterranean #straitsofgibraltar #photography #blogger #betweenthecontinents #visitgibraltar #lovegibraltar #mygibraltar #rockofgibraltar #lifestyle #spring2024 #bloggerlife

25/04/2024๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฎ THE ALAMEDA BOTANICAL GARDENS BEHIND THE SCENES The spectacular Alameda Gardens were first opened to the public in 1816 and there are a number of commemorative busts and cannons which date back to the 18th and 19th century on view. For most visitors, however, it is the beauty of the plants and trees which make the Alameda such a magical place; many are native species while others are imported. At certain times of the year, various cultural events take place in the gardensโ€™ open-air theatre. Tours of the Botanic Gardens are also available. Two important monuments can be viewed here, but pride of place goes to the General Elliot Column and the impressive bronze ordnance at its feet. At the entrance are two of the four Russian guns given to Gibraltar by Britain, for Gibraltarโ€™s help during the Crimean War, in 1858. The main plants of the Alameda Gardens from the earliest days were the Stone Pine, the wild Olive, and the Dragon Tree. It would appear that some of these trees, which still survive, pre-date the opening of the garden and thus are at least 200 years old. Planting subsequent to this had included notably species from South Africa (e.g. Plumbago capensis, Aloe arborescens, capensis, Tecomaria capensis) and Australia (e.g. Melaleuca decussata), possibly as a result of shipping contact between Gibraltar and the other colonies en route to Australia. #alamedagardens #botanicalgardens #plants #trees #instastories #dailylife #gibblogger #instapic #gibraltar #instablog #llanito #british #travel #holidays #mediterranean #straitsofgibraltar #photography #betweenthecontinents #mylife #visitgibraltar #lovegibraltar #mygibraltar #rockofgibraltar #lifestyle #spring2024 #bloggerlife

Time travel Gibraltar THE FIRST EVER PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES TAKEN IN AND OF GIBRALTAR BY ALFRED CAPEL CURE BETWEEN 1851 - 1856. IMAGES HAVE BEEN EDITED AND ARE NOW STORED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES IN THE UNITED STATES. ALFRED CAPEL CURE Alfred Capel Cure was an officer in the British Army, originally commissioned into the 55th Regiment of Foot. He later fought in the Crimean War where he was badly wounded. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1856 and then to Colonel five years later. He was stationed in Gibraltar as a member of the 55th from 1851 to 1854 being promoted to captain more or less half way through his time on the Rock. His Gibraltar photographs are dated 1851 and 1852 which will almost certainly make them among the earliest ever taken of the Rock. #timetravel #nowandthen #historicimages #historicgibraltar #historic #vintage #images #gbz #llanito #therock #travelpics #photography #mygibraltar #lovegibraltar #holidays #travel #mediterranean #gibraltarweather #meteogib #mediterraneansea #pillarsofhercules #marmediterraneo #estrechodegibraltar #straitsibraltar #straitsofgibrstsffaltar #rockofgibraltar #visitgibraltar #timetravel.gibraltar

21/04/2024๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฎ New Cepsa petrol station opens on Kingsway A new Cepsa petrol station on Kingsway has opened. In a first for the Rock, the station is now also home to a CarrefourExpress. The old Cepsa, on Winston Churchill Avenue will be vacated by the end of the month. The team behind the project say it's taken years of work. Plans to move Cepsa Gibraltar to Kingsway have been in the pipeline for almost as long as plans for the tunnel began. Works could only commence once the tunnel was complete so this last year has been full steam ahead as the team worked on constructing its new home. Building a petrol station, near the water and next to a runway is no easy feat. Cepsa says quite a bit of its business has come from across the border in the past and that the swap to the tunnel did have quite an impact on its old store. A major change to the station is the addition of carrefour express. Itโ€™s the first time the supermarket chain has had an outlet on the Rock. Whilst the location and station is important, prices are pivotal. Cepsa says since the re-introduction of a fuel-duty discount from the Government, theyโ€™ve managed to return to competitive prices. Though this needs to be monitored, Cepsa seems pumped to begin this next chapter. #cepsa #petrol #petrolstation #kingsway #airportgibraltar #instastories #dailylife #gibraltar #instablog #llanito #british #britishoverseasterritory #travel #holidays #mediterranean #straitsofgibraltar #travel #photography #blogger #betweenthecontinents #mylife #visitgibraltar #lovegibraltar #mygibraltar #rockofgibraltar #lifestyle #spring2024 #bloggerlife
