novaTopFlex has just finished identifying attractions in the British Overseas Territories. Unlike the hustle and bustle of a city like London, not a single territory in the British Overseas can claim such a fast pace of life. The significantly more modest pace of life in an area such as the Cayman Islands or the Turks and Caicos Islands is often further mitigated by the waterfront, of which the Overseas Territories provide plenty of shore as many are insular. Gibraltar, of course, is the exception rather than the rule, since the territory is firmly located within the Iberian Peninsula at the closest point to Africa, which is actually fairly close to Spanish Ceuta.

Hype for the Future 50H: Gibraltar 🇬🇮 and Ceuta
Ceuta is one of two (2) remaining Spanish possessions in Africa, though along with Melilla, Morocco 🇲🇦 has a regular habit of contesting the Spanish 🇪🇸 presence in the area within the African continent. Interestingly, Gibraltar is effectively on the opposite side of the Strait of Gibraltar from specifically Ceuta, with Melilla located significantly to the east, also opposite Morocco. Moroccan culture is rarely, if ever, absorbed into Spain, especially not to the same extent as Spanish culture is absorbed into Morocco. Traditionally, Morocco was associated with the Darija dialect of the Arabic language, though the Amazigh people and their language, Tamazight, also provide insights into Moroccan cultural traits. Western Sahara 🇪🇠is located further south and maintains a similarly tense relationship with Morocco, except with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic claiming control of the western Maghreb region.
