The actual extent of the subterranean passages has never been ascertained, and exaggeration and popular fancy find in it a fertile subject the vulgar believing that it is the mouth of a communication beneath the Strait with Mount Abyla, and that by this sub-oceanic passage the apes upon the Rock found their way from Africa.Īnon, Gibraltar and Its Sieges (1879), 35 Note: On page 542 of Thomas W.

Several varieties are cultivated in gardens, where the fruit arrives at great perfection, and trees of great size have been grown, one having been measured at 48 feet in circumference, and supposed to be upwards of 200 years old. “The Gardens are beautifully situated between the British and Spanish towns. Luxuriant and tropical vegetation produces a horticultural effect which would be hard to surpass. Geraniums 10 feet in height and heliotrope in profusion add beauty to the scene and fill the air with fragrance.
Pepper, coffee, and fig trees flourish here also.” ( U.S. Navy Ports of the World: Gibraltar terr neutral, Note: Cf.
The Gibraltar peninsula runs almost due north and south, and is about three miles long and three-quarters of a mile across at the widest part.

The gates at the northern end open upon Spanish territory.
