The cultural scene in Gibraltar
The cultural scene in Gibraltar. It is common that, if you have been living in Gibraltar for a short time, you do not know how to expand your social circle. However, socializing is key to easing the adjustment to your new home and familiarizing yourself with the culture with valuable and interesting people.
In this sense, Gibraltar has a lot to offer, as there are many associations and clubs that exist in this territory.
Do you have hobbies and interests that you would like to put into practice in the new country? This is also a way to increase your chances of connecting and making friends abroad.
In Gibraltar you can find everything from arts and crafts associations, to dance clubs, theatre, music, photography, or writers’ clubs. Whatever your hobby, you will be able to meet other people who share your interests.
Sign up for language courses, take dance classes, learn about cooking, and attend a book club or whatever interests you, so that you can take advantage of these spaces to make new friends with whom you find common ground.
If you can’t think of an activity you could pursue as a hobby, perhaps discovering a new hobby could be the ideal bridge to meeting people and making friends in Gibraltar, while also giving yourself the opportunity to learn something you weren’t familiar with.
Perhaps there is a sport that you have always been interested in but never dared to try, or maybe you have been thinking of learning about baking but haven’t had the time.
Whatever your discipline or activity of interest, discovering new hobbies and interests is also a way to discover people to connect with socially and open yourself up to a sea of opportunities to interact.
Cultural events
Many cultural events take place in Gibraltar: music, theatre and dance festivals, literary weeks, art exhibitions, and even street art has their place in this unique territory and of course Gibraltar National Day and the Calentita festival.

Gibraltar is a clear example of how different cultures can coexist in peace and harmony. The official language of Gibraltar is English, although a mixture of English and Spanish is used in informal conversations. This local dialect is called ‘Yanito’.
