Not only that but there is a huge rock cliff face (aka "The Rock") towering over the runway only perhaps 300m or so (?) to the side of the runway and water at both ends. Quite dramatic approach and landing compared to most airports that are typically in the middle of somewhere really flat.
That said I was mildly disappointed by gib - I thought it would be much more glamorous than it was considering its Mediterranean location and reputation for finance and gambling businesses. It kinda felt like Margate-in-the-med.
Gibraltar is pretty low key wahat comes to showing off money. Marbella, 100 km to Costa del Sol, is the European Miami where you will find Lambos, bodies and parties.
