Gibraltar
Religion of Gibraltar
Gibraltar's main religion is Christianity. The great majority (78%) of Gibraltarians belong to the Roman Catholic Church. The sixteenth century Saint Mary the Crowned is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gibraltar, and also the oldest Catholic church in the territory.
Climate of Gibraltar
A strategic position at the entrance to the Mediterranean means Gibraltar experiences localised weather conditions dependant upon the prevailing winds.
Gibraltar’s climate is temperate and you can look forward to beautifully warm, dry summers and mild winters, with only roughly 30% of the year experiencing rain.
Gibraltar Currency
The official currency is the Gibraltar Pound (GIP), which is divided into 100 new pence.
UK notes and coins are also accepted and have the same value, but Gibraltar Pounds are not accepted in the UK and any unspent Gibraltar Pounds should be changed before leaving.
