Summary edit

Description
English: The narrow Strait of Gibraltar is the gatekeeper for water exchange between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The Strait is only about 8 miles (12.9 km) wide and 36 miles (58 km) long. The waters separate Gibraltar and Peninsular Spain in the north from Morocco and Ceuta in the south.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory on Spain’s south coast and home to a tall limestone ridge known as the Rock of Gibraltar. Ceuta is a Spanish autonomous city on the north coast of Africa.
