How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Iberian Offensive is set in the Upper Town of Gibraltar, where tanks and infantry fight through steep, winding streets and alleys on the slopes of the Rock. In the map's official artwork, the hillside above the houses is on fire.
The real place
The Upper Town is the old residential quarter that climbs the Rock above Main Street, a maze of ramps, stepped lanes and small patios below the Moorish Castle. Castle Steps, shown here, is one of the stepped lanes linking it with the town below.
Visiting
The Upper Town is a steep climb, so wear good shoes. Combine it with the Moorish Castle and the cable car to the top of the Rock, where the Barbary macaques live; do not feed them or carry food in plastic bags.
