Gibraltar is a small British territory that borders southern Spain. It has belonged to Great Britain longer than the U.S. has been a country.
The locals are called "llanitos" and they speak a mixture of Spanish and English. This is one of the most bizarre, and yet fascinating places I've been to in a while. But the best thing? The people.

This is the first video I've seen where someone interviews the Gibraltarians - absolutely fascinating!
-
So cool to see people switching languages with ease like this
-
Even as a Brit we don't often see the detail of people living living their lives there. Just ten minutes of this video and it seems like a wonderful place with absolutely lovely people! Spanish chill and English sense of humour, what a great mix.

4:47 “me considero totalmente británico” más andaluz que sopa de mondongo 😂

Estoy haciendo mi tesis de Lingüística Hispánica sobre este lugar. He entrevistado a varios gibraltareños y son las personas más amables, tienen esa calidez española pero su sentido del humor británico. Es una rara combinación de dos culturas que alguna vez fueron "enemigos".

I don't often comment on videos, but yours was brilliant. Thank you, really enjoyed it.

I'm in Gibraltar right now and I saw 4 of those people you interviewed 😂
-
Everyone seemed so pleasant and confident and went through struggle during the bad days. Very lovely, thank you for this insight

Hi I am from Gibraltar (born and bred from Gibraltarian father and Spanish mother), thank you for such a nice and simpatico (Spanish word) video, you have shown parts of my lovely homeland, and I thank you for that, but I especially enjoyed listening to our greatest assets, our people! (by the way interesting to know where you are from?)

Wonderful video Ross, I loved it! So cool, I’ve gotta make sure I visit Gibraltar one day. Además, ya hablo los dos idiomas más usados allí. Que interesante es Gibraltar! Thank you!👌🏽👌🏽🇺🇸🇻🇪

I'm from Miami (where we have a lot of Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans whose ancestors came from Andalusia and Canary Islands). To hear this accent (in Spanish) which feels so close to me juxtaposed with a British accent which feels very far from me within a single person is very interesting.

Gibraltar is a gigantic duty free shop

Great programme thank you.
-
Great video, man. Lovely to see you speak with so many people. i need to fly down and visit Gibraltar soon!
-
Fascinating. I now want to visit.
-
I lived there in the mid seventies. As a kid I remember I was always happy too. Loved it
-
really enjoyed this video. As an Englishman who speaks Spanish through choosing to learn it, it has been a really cool experience seeing a community integrate both languages and I would love to visit someday!!
-
Great video!

Awesome work!

I had the genuine pleasure of going to Gibraltar in January 2017, on my flight to Gibraltar, I overheard one of the passengers (who was from Gibraltar) being asked a question that has been asked many times by those outside of Gibraltar to those from the Territory: "why aren't you Spanish?" It's a question, I'm sure, that many in Gibraltar are probably bored of being asked by now, certainly this particular person just rolled their eyes and said "because we feel British,"
