FOR A CULINARY JOURNEY WITH A VIEW… 

The Rock Hotel is sure to tantalise your taste buds with the finest flavours of the region. The hotel’s passionate chefs are inspired by Gibraltar’s rich heritage, weaving a tapestry of tastes that combine the best of Moroccan, Spanish, and British traditions. 

Modern culinary techniques elevate these exquisite dishes to a new level, resulting in marvellous creations that are both visually stunning and undeniably delicious, all whilst gazing out at breathtaking views of Gibraltar. 

FOR AUTHENTIC TAPAS… 

Nestled along the picturesque Chatham Counterguard, La Tapilla Sixtina stands out as an unmissable destination for food enthusiasts and travellers alike.

This charming restaurant captures the spirit of nearby Spain with its extensive menu featuring an impressive selection of small plates, or ‘‘tapas’, allowing guests to savour a variety of flavours from patatas bravas to succulent gambas al ajillo in one sitting.

FOR IMMERSIVE HISTORICAL EXPERIENCES…  

Fortress Attractions creates extraordinary and unforgettable visitor experiences that celebrate and highlight the incredible history, culture, and spirit of adventure that has defined Gibraltar through the ages and continues to do so today.  

Gibraltar hosts a diverse range of historical fortresses, including the medieval Moorish Castle Complex with its Tower of Homage and extensive British fortifications like the North Front defences, Line Wall, and South Bastion.   

Through intricately detailed and immersive storytelling, twinned with innovative design, the company brings Gibraltar’s vibrant heritage to life, offering something unique for every guest. 

Dedicated to enhancing visitor engagement, fostering education, and delivering unforgettable moments for all ages and demographics, Fortress Attractions specialises in curating magical memories. 

A milestone moment for the company was signalled last year when it was awarded a 20-year contract for the development and management of leisure activities at the Northern Defences. This followed a meticulous Expression of Interest process which began in 2013.  

As a result of this project, Fortress Attractions is investing £4 million to create the ultimate visitor attraction featuring heritage tours, zip-lines, climbing, archery, and play areas.  

With public access remaining a priority, amenities such as picnic tables and calisthenics equipment will also be available on site for free.   

By combining exceptional service with a resolute commitment to sustainability and community development, the company strives to leave a lasting impression on everyone who steps through its doors.  

Join Fortress Attractions now in exploring the stories of the past whilst building memories for the future.
