Part of the rock is part of the reserve, its most valuable inhabitants are Barbary macaques–magots and partridges. Tourists are attracted by a unique maze of tunnels cut into the rock in the XVIII-XX centuries.

This variety of narrow–nosed tailless macaques is a kind of symbol of Gibraltar. On the territory of Europe, only here they live in a natural environment and enjoy complete freedom – they pester tourists, steal food, penetrate into homes.
