It's a unique place to visit. When you come from Spain, you park near the border, and you walk across the runway of the airport, which is situated astride the isthmus that connects the rock to the mainland. And as mentioned in the article, the view from the southern tip is special. I've never been disappointed by making the effort to visit the funny little enclaves that captured my interest as a map-loving kid. If we had had time, we would have crossed the straits to visit Ceuta and Melila, Spains exclaves on the Moroccan coast. I've always found it ironic that Spain has demanded Morocco back from Britain, while fiercely defending their own similar territories a couple dozen miles away.
