    St. Michael’s Cave and 1st Ape Sighting

    July 25, 2022 in Gibraltar ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    Our next stop was at one of the entrances to the Gibraltar Nature Reserve at the Pillars of Hercules. At this point you could opt to take the Mediterranean Steps to St. Michael’s Cave, but it was already getting hot so we rode in the van with our guide. On the short walk to the cave entrance, we experienced our first Macaque ape sighting. We even saw a little baby one❣️

    St. Michael’s Cave is fascinating with all the stalagtites and stalagmites that have formed over the years. They even have a light show at the end of the cave that runs continuously every 7-8 minutes. It’s a cave amphitheater with a lot of seating. At the beginning, you take a picture in front of a green screen and have the option to purchase them at the end. We went for the full package because they were so reasonably priced. For the bargain price of £20, we got all the digital files, a magnet, keychain, and 3 prints. The downside is, it’s all the same pose LOL!
