Gibraltar is 3.1 miles long and only a half mile wide. It is primarily a limestone peninsula. Gibraltar is not an island. It is connected to Spain by a sandy spit of land. The population of Gibraltar is just under 30,000. There are three types of dolphin in the Bay of Gibraltar: bottlenose, striped and common. Dolphin watching is common. In 1713, Spain handed over control of Gibraltar to Britain, but they have attempted to get it back ever since.
