Carry the passport or ID card you would need for Spain anyway, and expect Schengen-style checks if you arrive by air or sea.\r\nAre the monkeys dangerous? | They are wild animals that associate bags and plastic with food, and they snatch, scratch and occasionally bite. Keep bags closed, keep food out of sight, and do not feed them \u2014 it is illegal and fined.\r\nIs Gibraltar expensive? | For its size, yes, and accommodation is the problem: supply is very limited and prices are high. The standard approach is to sleep and eat in La L\u00ednea, ten minutes away in Spain, and visit for the day.\r\nShould I take the cable car or walk? | The Mediterranean Steps take about ninety minutes up the eastern face and are the better arrival. The cable car is quicker and easier, and a combined ticket with the Upper Rock reserve is usually the best value.\r\nCan I see Africa from Gibraltar? | On a clear day, yes \u2014 Morocco is 14km across the strait and clearly visible from the top and from Europa Point. The Levante wind can cover the summit in cloud even in hot weather, which is worth knowing before you buy a cable car ticket.\r\nDoes time in Gibraltar count towards Schengen? | Gibraltar now applies Schengen border rules, but official guidance on whether days here count towards the 90-day allowance is reported inconsistently.
