Can you think of any other part of the world where 40km brings such a complete and radical culture change?

As you leave Gibraltar heading south, you are just a stretch of water away from another country in every sense. Morocco, with its sights, scents and intoxicating North African vibe, has long held a fascination for travellers in search of a very different ambience.

Yet from the UK, it is just a four hour flight away – and with a balmy sub-tropical climate that even in winter hovers around the 18°C mark.

All of which makes a compelling proposition for second home owners, and indeed investors looking for an interesting opportunity with years of fun attached.
