My God! A Spanish saying that Gibraltar is a country!

What kind of country is Gibraltar?
I hope you mean you have been in the UK...

Well, now, reading this web page I'm totally confused about what Gibraltar is...
Maybe finally Gibraltar is a country and I have been wrong all this time...

I putted Gibraltar as a country because I'm not sure if it is governed by the UK or by its own.

I will guess something about this, pepitopulpito.

Whoah, if only I had known about EBT earlier... Almost half of those places I visited or re-visited after 2002...

When I turned 16 I decided to visit at least two new countries every year and so far managed to do so fairly well. This year I'm planning to add Monaco and Ireland.

Wow! Nice list! May I ask, how old are you now? If you visit 2 new countries from the age of 16, you will need to live until over 120 to cover every country (196, I think...)

Maybe Lazza (hey, I'm a City fan too!), who lives in the UK could tell us what is considered Gibraltar there...

Thanks!

I'm 28. That was my calculation as well and therefore I visit at least two new countries per year. I have to make up for all the lost childhood years... Once that is accomplished I should try to get some in advance as I have serious doubts about travelling the remaining countries at the age of 95.

Unfortunately it's becoming harder and harder as Europe is almost done and the longer I do this, the more expensive it becomes.

Ugh - I've this conversation with so many people, both Irish, British and from the Channel islands, and none of them can really decide on this.
As far as I know, the channel islands, including Gibraltar, are *not* part of the UK. They're not countries either though. They are overseas territories, whatever that is!
Confused? So am I!
