My heart sank as I waited in the dental clinic. Nothing to do with the great service I always get there. Just that the distraction-TV had shifted from Sky, usual on previous occasions, to GB News. It’s not my watch of choice, and I was early. It probably didn’t help that the Levanter had come...

By Stuart Hedley In November 2016 the government issued a press release entitled “40,000 Vehicles in 6 Square Kilometres Does Not Go”. The press release mentioned that there were over 30,000 registered vehicles in Gibraltar and the message was quite clear, motor vehicle saturation on the Rock was fast approaching. The rest of the press...

Many appear as anniversaries, year in, year out and they come by again and again so quickly: just look, it seems like Christmas was seven or eight weeks ago when in reality three months have gone by and we’re now even passed the other very important religious event – Easter! Incidentally, did you know that...

Earlier this year I visited my old secondary school ‘Warblington’ in Hampshire. Built in 1956 and often ridiculed for its ugliness, I was surprised to learn the property had been Grade II listed in 2019 by Historic England because of architectural and historic interest. My brother and I were given a tour by the current...

On Sunday afternoon I was sat on my sofa, soaking in the last hours of the spring sunshine, talking about a dystopian novel where climate change and inequity wreaked havoc. The book in question was Megha Majumdar’s latest novel, A Guardian and a Thief. This is a dystopian novel based in India which follows the...

It was Denis Healy who, shortly after arriving at the House of Lords, referred to it as the “land of the living dead”. Others have called it a knacker’s yard but it actually has a real function. The upper house can spend more time analysing and improving legislation. Its focus on important issues is sometimes...

Earlier this year Alice’s Table went on a tour of the Alameda Gardens - the Gibraltar Botanical Gardens which this year celebrates 2010 years of history. Speaking to its director Dr Keith Bensusan we looked back on its history, how the gardens have survived throughout all these years, the role it continues to play in...

by Paul Balban Cycling Proficiency is seen in the UK as a practical life-skill program, widely taught within schools, within school time, teaching basic bike control and road awareness with an introduction to the Highway Code within Level 1 and then further on into Level 2 where children are then introduced to real road environments....

We’ve seen the arrival in recent times of cafeteria chains opening up on the Rock, I assume all vying for top spot: Can they all survive healthily? We have a British one – Costa Coffee, originally owned by two Italian brothers, which keeps on growing their presence on the Rock, with another branch opening soon...

I like wine. If you don’t like wine then this article will still be interesting as it tells a story of what a small parcel of land can do if treated with care. When my husband and I travel we like to accompany our food with the local wines and until relatively recently this was...

By Joe Bishop Extreme weather events are increasingly becoming part of the lived experience of many communities around the world. What was once described as a “one-in-a-lifetime” event traditionally understood as something that might occur only once every 50 to 100 years is now being observed with greater frequency and intensity. Gibraltar, like many regions,...

Alice’s Table is back to one of my favourite things – music, and the people who play music making life a better place for us all. A life filled with music is always better than none. And already in 2026 Albert Vallejo has contributed in a big way to putting smiles on faces and bringing...

For the past 10 years the word Brexit has featured heavily in our day-to-day lives, not just because it features heavily in the news but also the impact it would have on us personally. For years I’ve had to report on Brexit issues happening in Gibraltar and how it would affect Gibraltar, but now I’m...

By Carl Hallam When my wife and I made the decision to leave the UK and move to Gibraltar with our two young boys, it was a leap. I joined a large UK operator, focusing on the UK market, and Gibraltar became the operational and regulatory base for a business targeting customers across Europe. Gibraltar...
