Rockery plants

I would like to thank everyone who has given me some really helpful advice for our newly acquired Costa Blanca Garden.  The excellent advice for evergreen trees for this fairly rocky but green coastal area as been taken up and the big planting has begun. We have chosen Olives, Arbutus, Carob, Bay, Ficus Nitida and 2 Feijoas all being planted tomorrow. Its all very exciting and these will complement the many mediterranean pines and the dozen or so Palms plus the many other shrubs which we already have in the garden.  
The next project is a beautiful rockery which we have uncovered - alot of bedrock, some added rocks, some of it under the pines, some in the open area. There are lots of earth spaces and I would like some advice of what plants would be suitable to grow among these quite dry rocks. I would like some showy colourful plants (not annuals), not all creeper types but I would some height in some spaces as well.
Thank you.   Any advice much appreciated.
 
PS I have just heard and read about the dreaded Pine Processionary Caterpillar!!!  Does anyone have advice or stories about this creature?
