Away from the Levante Cloud that forms over the Rock of Gibraltar when the easterly wind blows and which keeps much of the Town Centre area in the shade a good part of the year. The South District is the Sunniest part of Gibraltar, a short 1 km commute, and considered the suburbs of Gibraltar reaching out towards Europa Point and the views over to Africa and the Straits of Gibraltar.
With Gibraltar’s largest beaches as well as the beautiful Catalan bay with its multi-colored buildings nestled around a scenic sandy bay. This side of the rock witnesses the rising sun and enjoys cooler evenings as the sun disappears behind the rock late afternoon. Here you will find the new soon-to-be-completed E1 and Forbes developments and where the old Caletta Hotel is being rebuilt to accommodate a new Hilton hotel combined with luxury residential apartments. Devil’s Tower Road is going through a complete regeneration and in future years we will see an entire metropolis spring up here.
For the fitter who doesn’t mind the uphill walk or using the outdoor escalator up to the Castle area that towers above the Town. Older, more heritage biased these properties tend to have high ceilings, quirky balustrades, and inner courtyards for shade and repose.
In Westside district you will find Gibraltar’s Senior School, Bayside Comprehensive School for boys, and Westside Comprehensive School for girls both now rehoused into a brand-new complex for more than 1000 boys and girls. You will also find Morrison’s Supermarket to make you feel home from home, the hospital St. Bernard’s, and the Europort Business Center. Here you will find the new soon to be released completed luxury development of Eurocity – Carrara and Murano.
It is at the real heart of Gibraltar, with its two Cathedrals, Holy Trinity Church of England and, St Mary the Crowned (Roman Catholic), shops, bars, and great access to everywhere. You won’t need a car here.
Finally, there are the two Marina Districts ‘Queensway ‘and ‘Ocean Village’ both with luxury apartments, bars, and restaurants. The latter is vibrant and noisy attracting professional couples due to its proximity to Gibraltar’s World Trade Centre and the other is more sedate and serene attracting retired, wealthy yacht and Marina lovers.
There is in fact something for everyone here in Gibraltar.
