How were these places chosen?

Everything Wikidata records in Gibraltar that is a building, a landform, a protected area or a tourist attraction, has coordinates, a photograph and an English Wikipedia article, is ranked by how many Wikipedia language editions wrote about it. Provinces, cities, airports, stations and stretches of sea shared with the neighbours are filtered out.

What language is spoken in Gibraltar, and what currency?

English. The currency is GIP.

How do I get mobile data in Gibraltar?

A travel eSIM is usually the cheapest way, and avoids a roaming bill. The plans suggested at the foot of this guide start at $2.29 for 2GB per day. The eSIM is data-only and sits alongside your normal SIM, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep working on your own number.

Which networks would my phone use in Gibraltar?
