Over the last 2 years Gibraltar has built up a new area on the water facing Spain. Ocean Village is spread out in a bay with 3 jetties to accommodate yachts, speedboats and small fishing oats, with two canals separating the promenade between the shops and restaurants. Tall, luxury apartments form a wall dividing the busy town roads from the peaceful pedestrian zone of the village. You’ll find brand name shops, antique dealers, a small supermarket, pubs and restaurants. You’ll be able to eat a curry, have Spanish tapas, dig into a full English breakfast and swill all this down with a pint of bitter, cider, an exotic cocktail or Spanish wine. All restaurants offer outside seating allowing you to overlook the sea or the canals and watch the planes take-off and land on the nearby airstrip. The premises are all built with wooden exteriors and have decked floors as well as ceiling fans, lending a colonial air. Surrounded by palm trees, an abundance of flowers and sun umbrellas, Ocean Village will give you that true holiday feeling and is a wonderful addition to the attraction of Gibraltar.
