Since 1973, it has been a part of the EU under the British accession. When you first see the Rock of Gibraltar, whether it is from the air, from the sea, or from either the Costa del Sol or the western end of the Bay, its impressive stature, towering isolated above the surrounding countryside causes the greatest impact.
