I hope you are right, because May really is the best time of year to visit Spain. You will have pleasant weather (maybe a few days that are really hot), and everything will still be green. (unlike going in September, with the same kind of weather, but all the plants are yellow/brownish because of the lack of water during summer).

my understanding is that the crossing from Gibraltar into Spain is now much easier. |

Well, that can't hurt. Was it that hard before? Or you mean the transportation?

Back in the days of Franco (and for a while afterwards) the Spaniards were deliberately difficult with the border into Gibraltar - I've heard stories of incredibly long waits at the border.
Now it's not too bad. Taking a car across can still sometimes be problematic, but if you're crossing by foot it takes no time at all.

Ah, I see. Any tricks and tips? Park the car before the border, and be on the watchout for the runway of the airport in Gibraltar. (don't forget to look left-right-left for incoming airplanes ) |
