The Gibraltar Arms is a perfect haven in the bustle of Gibraltar’s historic city centre. Main Street is a bustling, paved street lined with shops and offices; a stretch of charming buildings whose history is rooted in the seventh century Arabic invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, and which show traces of Spanish, Portuguese, Genoese and British traditions. Wooden shutters, wrought iron balconies covered in cascades of brightly coloured flowers, intricate geometric patterns on wall tiles – Main Street is a feast for the eyes.
