Mediterranean Steps Start, Gibraltar

Mediterranean Steps Start, Gibraltar

Mediterranean Steps is a 1.5k  path and nature trail in Gibraltar. It typically takes 60 minutes to complete. The path is located entirely within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and was built by the British military but is now used by civilians as a pedestrian route linking Martin’s Path to Lord Airey’s Battery near the summit of Rock of Gibraltar. The path offers stunning views over the Strait of Gibraltar, Windmill Hill, Europa Point, the Great Sand Dune, Gibraltar’s east side beaches, the Mediterranean Sea and the Spanish Costa del Sol. The Mediterranean Steps were built as part of the military communications system built by the British to allow access to their various defence posts at the southern end of the Rock. Visit Gibraltar.
