These strange calcareous rocks formations were hollow with amazing caves. The Vietnamese lit them up in gaudy colours. They were stunning.

St Michael’s Caves – Gibraltar – photos
We went up high on the rock with great views over the bay and towards Spain and across the straits to Africa. Then we went into the caves.
Gibraltar is a mass of caves. They have been hollowed out by water dissolving the limestone rock.
St Michael’s caves are a big complex. The main one is a big cavern in which they hold concerts. A fabulous setting.
The concert setting.
The caves are a mass of stalagmites and stalactites all lit up in bright colours (as seems the current trend to attract tourists). It is quite a spectacle.
