Gibraltar Affenfelsen
Beautiful view of the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and Morocco.
Just a few meters above the Skywalk there is the feeding-station, where you not only get an amazing view, but dozens of monkeys as well. They are much more active there than down at the Monkey's Den, which lies a bit lower and is connected with a steep path to this point.

Photography Tips
I'm not so sure anymore about the exact spot but you can't miss it if you're up there.
The monkeys are very tame. They have a pretty bad reputation, but we were cautios and locked away all of our stuff in our backpack. There was no problem whatsoever.
I started with a long lens as I thought I would not be able to get close, but you can - but should not - touch them. You really can take any lens you please.
I still prefered the 70-200 to my 17-40 as there are a lot of tourists that can and will get in your way if you go wide.

Travel Information
You can take a tourist-taxi, the cable car or go by foot. The latter is rather strenuous, but especially the path "Mediterranean Steps" is worth is the sweat.
