Gibraltar, its only 40 minutes drive and is full of interesting things to do. You can go up the Rock for the views and the apes or visit the incredible caves dug by the military. One of the little known pleasures is the Dolphin Safaris running out of Gibraltar Marina. They are excellent value for money.
