Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Gibraltar Cable Car (Spanish: Teleférico de Gibraltar) is an aerial tramway in Gibraltar. The cable car is located near the southern end of Main Street, next to Alameda Gardens.
From the base station, the cable car travels up the Rock of Gibraltar to the Ape's Den midway up the Rock, and then to the Top of the Rock taking around 6 minutes. Despite being called Top of the Rock, it is actually the second highest peak of the Rock at 412 metres above sea level.
During the journey, audio tour guides describe historical background on the sights of Gibraltar.[2][3] At the top is a restaurant, café, toilet facilities, and terraces which offer views across the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco, the Bay of Gibraltar towards Algeciras, and up the east coast towards Marbella.
The Gibraltar Cable Car was built in 1966 by Swiss cable car experts Von Roll Holding. The last extensive renovation took place in 1986 when the cable cars were replaced with the current day cabins. In 2007 the Top Station was refurbished and replaced with the current facilities including the Calpe Suite which is registered to conduct weddings.[4]
