You and your sweetheart may consider our Gibraltar Wedding Packages for
many reasons. The affordability of this British overseas territory for British
couples is certainly one factor, as is the ease and speed with which you can
get married here – as no less than John Lennon and Yoko Ono appreciated! But
there’s another reason why Gibraltar should be your go-to wedding
destination...
That reason is the variety of somewhat... well, let’s say, odd or even weird things you can do
here, that it’s unlikely you’d have the option of doing at whatever other
potential locations you may be comparing for your nuptials.
Here are just a few of those cool and unusual activities that could
await you as a newlywed in Gibraltar.
Hanging out with Barbary
macaques
Yep, this is definitely something that it’s unlikely you’d have the
chance to do if you got married in King’s Lynn (with no offence meant to any
Norfolk readers!). In fact, the Barbary macaques in Gibraltar are the sole wild
monkey population on the whole of the European continent, so it’s
understandable that many visitors to Gibraltar rush to have their photos taken
with them.
You’ll find these cheeky and inquisitive creatures in the Upper Rock
area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve, as well as in town when they make their
occasional forays to this part of the territory.
Be wary of getting too close
to them, though, as they’re still wild animals and may bite if frightened or
annoyed.
Learning a bit of Llanito
OK, so we’re not exactly promising that you’ll get the time to become a
fluent speaker if you purchase one of our Gibraltar wedding packages, as you
may only be here for a very short – albeit special – time. Nonetheless, it’s
another experience that you’re pretty much guaranteed to never have elsewhere,
given that Llanitois a vernacular
unique to Gibraltar.
Llanitoisn’t the official language of Gibraltar – that being, of course,
English – but it’s one that Gibraltarians frequently converse in. While based
on Andalucían Spanish, it incorporates elements of British English, Maltese,
Portuguese, Genoese Italian and even the Judaeo-Spanish dialect, Haketia.
Enjoying a leisurely stroll to
Spain
How many other parts of the world enable you to walk from British into
Spanish territory as if it’s the most natural thing anyone could do? Well,
nowhere, if we’re being honest. It’s something that you might just fancy doing
if you spend any extended period of time in Gibraltar; all that you have to do
is head to the territory’s northern tip and then follow the signs to Spain.
When you do, you’ll end up in La Línea
de la Concepción, which – while by no means an especially pretty part of Spain
– could serve as merely the start of your exploration of fascinatingly
multicultural Andalucía.
As you can see, our Gibraltar wedding packages
don’t have to be about you simply heading in and then straight out of this
captivating British Overseas Territory. They could, instead, be part of a much
longer and more involving stay in such an amazing part of the world, as you and
your honey start your married lives together in the finest style.
