Last Sunday was a lovely day here in Gib so Nadia and I decided to go up the Mediterranean Steps. They are a series of steps and paths that snake around the east side of the Rock offering the most fantastic views of the Strait, Morocco and the sea.
We went after lunch and due to the formation of the Rock most parts of the path were in the shade which kept us cool as we climbed the steps.
The Med Steps were created as a military installation and different lookouts and gun batteries are dotted along the way, which, if you are interested in history, makes the trek all the more worthwhile. The path way is not very easy to find but once you do find it, it is fairly easy to follow till the end.
The trek normally takes between 1 and 2 hours depending how fit you and how many photos you take on the way up. There are a few places of interest along the way such as the Twin Goat caves and plenty of old military lookouts and gun emplacements. I recommend it to everyone due to its stunning views.

We enjoyed the day very much – thanks to the lovely weather we have been experiencing in Gibraltar this winter, and we are looking forward to going again.
