Ready for Gibraltar Roca

I bought this book by Pablo Neruda. Its bilingual. Finding words that strike you on the left and knowing their meaning on the right is fun. That book is now with a to-be-doctor who is to go the William Carlos Williams or Richard Selzer's way.
Last night while reading the first poem Con Ella in Intimacies, another collection of Neruda's poetry, I came across the word roca which means a rock. I had Almond Roca rcntly, so that word was fresh in my mind.
