The exchange rate they give in the shops is not good. Better to take sterling if you can. Perfume shops, cigs & booze, jewellery. Although you might find a lot of the jewellery shops shut on a saturday as they are mainly owned by jewish people. I haven't ever found Gib particularly cheap. Petrol is cheap there though.

daisylulu-I have found with next and m&s bhs,etc in Gib,they are now starting to put their own price stickers on the garment,and removing the original price tags.Make sure you change your euros to pounds before you go.i briefly worked in a bar in Gib when i first arrived-and if the customers wanted to pay in euros instead of pounds-the bill used to be doubled.
eg:bill was 4.00 GBP-would be charged €8.00..So be careful.
I would say you will have a better shopping experience in Morrisons than in Gib town itself.
There is also accessorize,evans,bhs home,La sensa(cant think of anymore)
Costapacket-i always thought petrol was cheap in Gib but spanish lad told me it isnt..he said its similar in price to what it is in Spain.

I would be careful about using morrisons car park-i have known plenty of people use the carpark for shopping in town and came back and their car was clamped.
I would either use the small car park on the spanish side(opposite the main doors to the iberostar hotel(-€1.50 all day)park up,walk across the border and get the bus into Gib.
Or use the parking in Gib in the multi storey car park-(quite expensive.)
I would only use morrisons car park if you are shopping in Morrisons

Daisylulu said she wanted to shop in Morrisons and shop in Next. So what is the problem of parking in Morrisons car park and walking to Next?princess peach wrote: I would only use morrisons car park if you are shopping in Morrisons
I think there is a 4 hour limit on parking. Should be ample time for shopping in both shops?
Cheers

nevermind anyway,daisylulu is going by coach..so that will be bang in the middle of morrisons and the shops.plus the added bonus of no parking fees.
prob solved

If you shop in Morrisons and get clamped they will unclamp you free on production of a till receipt.
It happened to me and they were there before I managed to call them on their number - they could not have been more helpful and apologetic.
Apparently they were getting people parking there in Campervans etc and had to do something about it.

like i said before to you peachy, if you look at the £ price you think "wow, 55p a litre whoooohooooo"... if you look at the € price its like €1.02 rather than €1.08 in spain, a saving of 6c a litre, not particuarly cheap - a saving of a euro or so over a whole tank...
as for parking, theres a massive underground car park accessed by the resurant behind mcdonalds opposite the border on the spanish side. its like 3 or 4 euro for the day and has security.. the amount of porsches, ferraris etc in there long term is quite surprising

Depends on the size of your tank spanish lad! In my 4x4 that would be a saving of around 5 or 6 euros!!! Not much maybe, but certainly more than a euro for the tankful! Nearly a fee menu del dia!!

indeed, mine takes under €50 to fill, mums cherokee 4x4 4.0L takes nearer €100 i was saying as if you are going to put in €20 worth like normal, it wouldn't be worth it.karandjon wrote:Depends on the size of your tank spanish lad!
