Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, strategically positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its core city, Gibraltar City, covers an area of only 6.8 square kilometers, with a population of about 33,000, the official language is English, and the currency is the Gibraltar pound. With the "Rock of Gibraltar" as its landmark, the city is a blend of multiculturalism, with tourism, finance and shipping as its economic pillars. The Gulf of Catalonia is a bay on the Mediterranean coast of northeastern Spain, stretching from the Franco-Spanish border in the north to the delta of the Ebro River in the south, with a tortuous coastline, important ports such as Barcelona and Tarragona, and a favorable climate, which makes it an active area for tourism, fisheries and shipping. Although the two places belong to different geographical units, they are part of the same Mediterranean economic circle and have witnessed the historical changes and regional prosperity of southern Europe.
