Life In Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. The territory itself is 6.843 square kilometres and is connected to Spain.

Gibraltar’s location, two and a half hours flying time from London and within the central European time zone means that there are only advantages to be had from relocating to Gibraltar.

For its size, Gibraltar boasts one the most diversified small economies in Europe with no over-reliance on any one pillar of its economy. Despite the global economic and financial climate, and unlike much of the rest of Europe and the world, employment levels in Gibraltar held up very well during 2009.

Mr Caruana, Gibraltar’s Chief Minister, has said that cuts in personal taxation across the board will benefit people already living and working in Gibraltar, and also make Gibraltar an increasingly attractive personal tax jurisdiction for newcomers.

Living in Gibraltar you can enjoy an Mediteranean climate which is hot and sunny in the summer and cool in the Winter. In Winter it’s rare for the temperature to fall below 10C!
