Gibraltar was the location for the opening of one of the 007 movies, "Licenced to Kill", I think.
An old movie from the "Carry On.." gang (Brittish comedy) talked of the monkeys/apes on the Rock as a symbol of the UK rule over the area.
I have never been to the western Meditaranean, so haven't seen it for myself.

Lots of people refer to Gibraltar as the rock, because it is easier to spell(?). Do you own a piece of the rock? The saying is famous around thhe world.

It's on the southern tip of western Europe, just south of Spain. It is the northern side of the strait of Gibralter, which separates the Atlantic Ocean and the Med Sea.
I think it's been involved in a couple wars in history...

Of course I know where it is. I live on the island of Malta and has the same problem because it cannot be located on certain small maps.
