Nestled on the Strait of Gibraltar where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet, it’s no wonder why Gibraltar enjoys a subtropical climate that is further influenced by the Sahara Desert in the northern part of Africa.
It’s the perfect location for those who are seeking to be mesmerized by its breathtaking landscapes, eclectic cultural influences, numerous outdoor activities and beautiful beaches.
Compared to areas up the coast such as Estepona and Malaga where people can enjoy 300 days of sunshine a year, Gibraltar has a microclimate where you can expect the sun to be blocked by a cloud that hangs over the rock and temperatures that drop along with an increase in the wind speed.

Despite the high cost of rentals in the area which is estimated to reach up to £900 a month for a 1-bedroom apartment, expats from Europe still choose to relocate in Gibraltar because of its non-existent language barrier. However, the majority would prefer relocating over the border where the prices are relatively cheaper and therefore more affordable. Gibraltar has a reputation for over-inflated prices at the supermarket because everything is imported. Gibraltar grows none of its own food so Mercadona in Spain is much cheaper for basic groceries but Gibraltar is cheap for diesel, cigarettes and alcohol.
Apart from the enviable outdoor lifestyle, Gibraltar has a number of different industries for the serious professionals who are looking to gain ground on their career while enjoying the peninsula’s holiday-like appeal.
Gibraltar also prides itself as not having any wealth tax (which Spain has), gift tax, inheritance tax and capital gains tax. Other “perks” include none charging of VAT and fully allowed mortgage interests.
